Your score can change if you remediate impacted resources by adopting the best practices that Advisor recommends. If you or anyone with permissions on your subscription has modified or created new resources, you might also see fluctuations in your score. Your score is based on a ratio of the cost-impacted resources relative to the total cost of all resources.

#### I implemented a recommendation but my score did not change. Why did this happen?
