The strongest evidenced dimension establishes the base score. Separate human-impact dimensions can add a bounded share of the remaining headroom without double-counting the same harm.

The current fatality scale reaches 100 at 100 reported deaths. Since this headline reports 3,000, the loss component is capped at 100/100; the exact count still breaks ranking ties.
