Grades
Every article gets a composite score (0–1.0) from 8 weighted factors. The grade is a shorthand:
| A+ | Score ≥ 0.85 — top-tier, high relevance + impact |
| A | Score ≥ 0.70 — strong article, worth featuring |
| B | Score ≥ 0.50 — solid but not standout |
| C | Score < 0.50 — low priority, often filtered |
Composite Score Breakdown
Each factor contributes up to its max weight toward the 0–1.0 total:
| Factor | Max Weight | What It Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Relevance | 0.40 | LLM-scored relevance to horror industry (0–10 scale) |
| Impact | 0.30 | LLM-scored business impact (0–5 scale) |
| Source Authority | 0.10 | Source reliability weight (configurable per-source) |
| Recency | 0.10 | How fresh the article is (decays over hours) |
| Watchlist Boost | 0.12 | Bonus for matching watchlist entities (people, companies, IPs) |
| Facet Richness | 0.05 | Bonus for articles with rich metadata (names, dollars, genres) |
| Dollar Amount | 0.05 | Bonus for articles mentioning dollar figures (deals, box office) |
| Genre Priority | 0.05 | Bonus for horror-specific vs general entertainment |
Max theoretical score: ~1.17 (capped at 1.0). Corroboration adds up to +0.15 when multiple sources report the same story.
