Method and limits
Download every annual FSMS summary workbook (municipalities and school districts) from osc.ny.gov, find each sheet's header row, rescale scores published as fractions to 0 to 100, fill missing municipal codes from other years by name, county and class, keep one row per entity per fiscal year, and add the prior-year score, the change and the cumulative count of years designated.
Not a credit rating, not a forecast of default, and not New York City (OSC scores NYC separately). Not filed means the entity did not file the annual financial report OSC needs, not that it is stressed. 2012 covers municipalities only (no 2012 school district summary is published on the OSC pages used).
