HOW RANKING WORKS

Nothing here is paid, boosted, or weighted by time on page.

Every story carries a signal score, and every score decomposes into named parts you can inspect on the story page. If you disagree with a ranking, you can see exactly which component put it there.

Read the full method →

01 · RECENCY

How recently it was published, decaying on a fixed half-life rather than falling off a cliff.

02 · CROSS-FEED AGREEMENT

How many independent feeds carried the same story. Agreement reached separately is the strongest signal we have.

03 · SOURCE AUTHORITY

Editorial trust in the feed that carried it, which is not always the publisher shown. Primary engineering write-ups outrank rewrite desks.

04 · EARLY VELOCITY

Discussion the story drew in the feed that surfaced it, not on elseif. We never rank on our own click data.

05 · TOPIC CLARITY

How confidently the story classified. A story we cannot place is unlikely to be what you came for.
