The Method plugin keeps a running tally of calculations expressed as a series of lines.

We can compute values using method conversions to define quantities of clicks.
See GitHub 
for plugin source.
Lines
The first few characters determine how a line of a method is interpreted.
A line starting with digits defines a value and contributes that value to the contribution.
A line starting with words retrieves that value from nearby datasets and contributes it to the computation.
A line starting with all-caps calls out a computation to be applied to previous contributions.
Defined values and computation results are available to subsequent methods by the name that follows on the remainder of the line.
Units
When the name of a defined value includes parenthesized words, these words are interpreted as units.
Some unit conversions can be applied automatically.
See Method Unit Conversions for more examples.
Computations
All computations are defined in the apply function inside the method plugin. This limits the things you can say to compute.
See Method Expressions for concise formulas.

Say SHOW to display specific results in large digits while hiding other calculatons. (SHOW is otherwise like SUM)
Application
The Method plugin exposes its computations such that they can be applied to new values by other plugins.
Programming
Additional computations may be added as needed by programmers for use on a specific site.
The plugin's <i>apply</i> function recognizes computations by name and performs the appropriate computation.
apply = (name, list, label) -> switch name when 'SUM' then sum list when 'AVG', 'AVERAGE' then avg list when 'MIN', 'MINIMUM' then _.min list when 'MAX', 'MAXIMUM' then _.max list when 'FIRST' then list[0] when 'PRODUCT' then _.reduce list, (p,n)->p*=n when 'LOOKUP' then lookup list when 'POLYNOMIAL' then polynomial list[0], label else throw new Error "don't know how to #{name}"
