There was a problem hiding this comment.
Should I document how ratings should be interpreted and applied by consumers ?

I am translating @stevespringett 's feedback on the CycloneDX VEX specification into the code.
Yes, they should be. It is widely known that the NVD has historically overrated vulnerabilities (on purpose). So the ratings from the NVD and those from the manufactures are often different. CycloneDX can convey this information which can aid in prioritization.
