Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — Microsoft

It ranks mainly on source trust: Microsoft is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.

StandardStandard, because a first-party source is on it, the subject was identified from the text, and it scores 0.55 against a bar of 0.50.

Blended score 0.547 — every figure below is computed, none of it is editorial.
FactorWeightScore ContributionWhere it came from
Corroboration 0.35 0.39 +0.135 25% 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true.
Source trustleads 0.25 1.00 +0.250 46% Microsoft is the highest-trust source on this story and is first-party — the organisation announcing its own news. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged.
Pickup rate 0.20 0.00 +0.000 0% One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate.
Freshness 0.20 0.81 +0.162 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.
