Why am I seeing this Ranked on corroboration — 2 independent outlets
2 independent outlets carried this — Video Games Chronicle and Ign. Agreement across newsrooms that do not share an owner is the strongest thing we can measure, so it carries the most weight.
The classifier could not identify the subject from the text, so the section was inherited from the source feed. We do not summarise what we cannot identify — this one links straight out.
Link-outLink-out, because the subject could not be identified from the text. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroborationleads | 0.35 | 0.61 | +0.215 34% | 2 distinct tier-1/2 orgs, counted once each: Video Games Chronicle and Ign. Saturates at 5. |
| Source trust | 0.25 | 0.85 | +0.212 34% | Video Games Chronicle is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.05 | +0.009 1% | The sources carry no usable publish times, so the rate could not be measured from them directly. |
| Freshness | 0.20 | 0.95 | +0.190 30% | 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.
