Why this scored 9
every term, weightedEngagement per hour, normalized against the fastest item on its own source
Whether that velocity is itself speeding up, as a per-hour rate
How many independent communities are talking about the same entity
Decays to zero over 14 days
Subtracted once something is big and old — we rank what's next, not what's peaked
Weights are hand-tuned, not learned — we're calibrating them against realized trends as history accumulates. On a topic's first sighting there's no previous reading to compare against, so acceleration starts from a neutral prior rather than a measurement. Full methodology

The evidence
The live items this entity's score aggregates — every community independently talking about it right now. This is the corroboration, shown, not claimed.
