Why am I seeing this Ranked on corroboration — 2 independent outlets
2 independent outlets carried this — Thurrott and The Verge. Agreement across newsrooms that do not share an owner is the strongest thing we can measure, so it carries the most weight.
StandardStandard, because two or more independent orgs carry it, the subject was identified from the text, and it scores 0.58 against a bar of 0.50.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroborationleads | 0.35 | 0.61 | +0.215 37% | 2 distinct tier-1/2 orgs, counted once each: Thurrott and The Verge. Saturates at 5. |
| Source trust | 0.25 | 0.82 | +0.204 35% | Thurrott is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | The sources carry no usable publish times, so the rate could not be measured from them directly. |
| Freshness | 0.20 | 0.80 | +0.160 28% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
