Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — Video Games Chronicle

Corroboration 0.35 0.39 +0.135 30% 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true.

Pickup rate 0.20 0.29 +0.059 13% One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate.
Freshness 0.20 0.42 +0.084 18% 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.
