"City-scoped" and "a place can hold a value" are different questions

probe/scope.py judges whether an indicator is something a city could report, and it is good at what it does: it reads the topic — health, water, education — and scores it municipal. It cannot see that "extent to which countries have laws and regulations that guarantee full and equal access to sexual and reproductive health care" measures a legislature, not a place. The topic is municipal; the subject is a country.

28 of the 67 US-silent "city-scoped" indicators were country-as-subject, 18 of them one family of SDG 5.6.2 legal provisions — and the matcher paired every one with NYC's Local Law 37/2011, on the token "Law".

The filter for this is lexical, not a second classifier: an indicator beginning "extent to which…", "countries that…", "proportion of countries…" is excluded, while "extent of human made wetlands" is not. The distinction is a property of how the sentence is phrased, and a rule that can be read and argued with beats a score that cannot. The published count went 67 → 39 as a result.
