Exploit Hound: risk scores, Fix First and Threat Radar

For the technician or analyst who works the Exploit Hound queue and has to explain it: the 0-100 risk score as a sum of named, versioned factors, the words detected, high confidence and safely validated, applicability checks before a finding takes anyone's time, how Fix First ranks the actions a technician performs and measures its own predictions afterwards, the change bundle preview, and how to read the public Threat Radar (CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS) without telling a customer they are affected.
