5-year trend: Steady State
No extreme longitudinal divergence detected. The organization is maintaining its current operational philosophy.

- All-volunteer org with no paid officers — governance signal is neutral (default 50), not absent.
- Financial resilience score in the bottom quartile — reserves and liabilities ratios warrant review.
