The Engine Score
Our proprietary AI rating system. Every story scored 1–10. No hype, just signal.
How We Score
Every story is evaluated across six weighted factors. The wider the block, the more it influences the final score.
Industry Impact How many people, companies, or workflows does this affect?
Novelty Is this genuinely new information or a rehash?
Actionability Can readers do something with this today?
Source Reliability Is this from a primary source or secondhand reporting?
Timeliness How fresh is this? Hours old or days old?
Verification Confirmed by multiple independent sources?

Significant development. Worth your attention.
