How this is ordered

The lead is the most consequential story of the window, by the same formula with age taken out. Everything below it is ordered by that formula divided by age: severity and kind, plus three points for every publisher that independently filed the same development, plus two for every additional plant it names, plus a term for the size of the largest plant involved, all divided by age. Nothing is weighted by whether we managed to read the article. A story about a share price rather than about a plant is divided by five.
