Look in the rules directory.
The file contains the mass-check results that were used in score generation. Generally the best numbers to look at are %spam, mostly to see how often a rule hits, and S/O, to see how accurate it is. S/O is the ratio of spam to overall hits, where a rule with a S/O of 1.0 hits only spam, and never any nonsapm, while a S/O of 0 never hits any spam, only nonspam.
