Editorial priority: 15 / 7 / 3 points by tier. Event impact: up to 60. Source evidence: up to 15. Recency: up to 10, halving every 36 hours from the event date. Older reporting stays available.
Only the strongest event class counts; measured scale, open access and broad reach can add impact. Planned or preliminary events receive less weight. House labels, entity counts and writing length add no points. Routine product noise deducts 15 points.
An editorial score, not a probability or a measure of truth. These are operator-selected weights, not pooled founder judgments.
