Basis: phonetics, by spelling. One voiced obstruent, two bilabial stops, ends in a vowel. The pronouncing dictionary has no entry, so the letters were sounded out by a stated rule.
Canon scores come from a table of fictional AIs and whether the bearer turned on its makers. Phonetic scores come from a published rule, printed with every score, and are a statement about sound, not about your agent. How the sound is scored.
Counts are licence records, not individual animals; a renewed licence is counted again.
