How the sort came out

Filing work per row put Mainstay Filing first. That column is 30% of the sort, and three-year row total, renewal gap, row crossover and cell clarity make up the remainder.

The Annual Registration Fee column is what moved the bundle to the top.

Add the EIN application and Mainstay Filing's cumulative cost passes VA Registered Agent.org's in year 2.
