How this ranking works

Each signal is ranked within its source on each observed day, using public engagement metrics where available and the source’s ordering otherwise. Peak strength, typical strength, recurrence and discovery across sources contribute to its score. Source and topic limits keep the shortlist varied. Repeated URLs and matching titles are merged. Metrics are the highest observed snapshots; cumulative counts are never added together.

Raw daily collections preserve repeat observations that the daily digest may omit to keep its news fresh. This is a ranking of observed public signals, not site traffic or a claim of measured growth.
