Why this scored 0
every term, weightedVelocity+0.0 / 40 max
Engagement per hour, normalized against the fastest item on its own source
Acceleration+0.0 / 25 max
Whether that velocity is itself speeding up, as a per-hour rate
Cross-source spread+0.0 / 25 max
How many independent communities are talking about the same entity

Decays to zero over 14 days
Saturation penalty−6.2 / 30 max
Subtracted once something is big and old — we rank what's next, not what's peaked
