02 · Editorial reasoning model

News becomes useful when the hidden dependency is exposed.

The MR score prioritizes signals; it is not a credit, investment, engineering or actuarial rating.

OPERATING DEPENDENCY · 30%30Can a system, process, supplier or utility stop production?
CAPITAL TRANSMISSION · 25%25Can the event flow into financing, capex or value?
MISSION / INDUSTRIAL · 25%25Does it matter to strategic hard-tech output?
SOCAL / ACTIONABILITY · 20%20Can Southern California clients act?
Breaking event → hidden dependency → operating consequence → capital consequence → “who else has the same problem?” → client action.
