🧪 Writing Journalism Simulation

Journalism's oldest structural rule is the inverted pyramid: put the most newsworthy fact first, because every reader is a countdown. This simulator turns that rule into a live experiment — reorder six facts from a single news story, tune how strong the lede is and how dense the prose reads, then watch a modeled readership of instanced 3D readers scroll down the resulting article and fall away according to a hazard-based survival curve drawn straight from real audience-retention analytics. The "information delivered" score shows, in one number, exactly how much of the story's real newsworthiness actually reaches the average reader before they leave — and why burying the lede quietly throws that value away.
