Language utility labels come from assigned weights and growth fixtures

Read the explanation

The source English economic component is eighty-eight and official-status component ninety-eight. With only positive economic weight, the score is eighty-eight. With equal positive economic and official weights and zero growth weight, their average is ninety-three. Bars share four point eight pixels per assigned point. These component constants are source assumptions, not verified economic utility or language rankings. Outside the exact default fixture, the source French growth component is eighty plus target year minus twenty twenty-four times two point zero eight three repeating. At twenty twenty-four it is eighty; at twenty fifty the growth-only utility rounds to one hundred thirty-four point two. Bars share three point three pixels per assigned point. Despite the interface score label, this source expression has no one-hundred clamp. This is code behavior, not a validated demographic or utility forecast. The source speaker estimate is three hundred twenty plus target year minus twenty twenty-four times thirty-one, rounded. At twenty thirty it gives five hundred six million; at twenty fifty one thousand one hundred twenty-six million. Bars share point three eight pixels per assigned million. These linear figures and saved demographic claims are unverified; no real growth forecast is asserted. Full JSON/reset, native four-width allocation and earliest-footer checks preserve the original simulator.
