Where the public record is thin for 60068, the field stays empty rather than modeled, and fills in as new documents post.

The 35/100 for 60068 sums independent layers - foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien, lender headwind and structural risk - so the mix behind the number matters as much as the number.
