Read it at the publisher

12 publishers filed this development, each linked to its own filing where we hold the address. A publisher without a link was folded in from another outlet's syndication of the same wire copy, so we have its name and not its page.

Joined to this plant because the headline or summary carries a place-grade token the plant owns. If that join is wrong, write to build@bomforge.com and it will be corrected in the record.

No summary: the publisher's article could not be read from here, so this story carries the headline the publisher wrote and nothing we added to it.

Coverage volume, not a capacity or margin signal. A plant is here because publishers named it.

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.
