What factors actually affect Max Labs / Focus points?

Hi - as far as I'm aware Industry tech level has an influence on Max (total) Labs, but there also seems to be a relationship to actual industrial production level (PPs?) and/or Year on Max (total) Labs, however I'm not sure how this actually is worked out.

Is there a formula for working out Max (total) Labs e.g. something akin to the useful formulas for working out transport / invasion capacity in the GS manual?

Also - are there any criteria for receiving focus points? I haven't been able to work this out at all. Thanks!

Somewhere in a dark corner of my memory I have this formula lurking. Actual PP output from a city=(City's production number)*2*(War Effort %). Halve for occupied cities.

Max labs come straight from the War Effort %? 86 gives you max 8 labs, 135 gives you max 13 labs and so on?

I have a hazy memory of quarterly checks or quarterly additions having been mentioned. But I'm also curious what is the actual procedure for getting new focus points.

Please treat my reply as a teaser only until someone who has actually seen the code comes out with the truth :)
