Assumptions: every submitted Substack URL receives +15 publishing points even without a separate demo or repository; demo plus code receives +25 proof points, while demo-only or code-only receives +10. Proof-backed submissions also receive the +10 weekly theme bonus; Builds On Others=Y receives the +15 competitor-reference bonus; a populated Bonuses cell receives +5 extra-channel points; and the first proof-backed submission bonus follows CSV order. A Substack-only article or embedded video therefore scores 15 publishing points.
