Ranking index

Different questions need different rankings

Trend, quality, freshness, official-source status, and test evidence answer different questions. No single composite score should replace the decision.

Page admission

Not every combination deserves a URL

Every aggregation page needs a distinct decision job, enough qualified entities, and useful content beyond a repeated card list.

01

Keep metrics distinct

Repository stars, Skill quality, and test results should not collapse into an opaque total score.

02

Disclose cold starts

When snapshot history is incomplete, fallback ordering is disclosed.

03

Meet the ranking gate

A live board needs at least 20 qualified entries, a public method, and a visible update date.

EntityIdentity, source, and lifecycle verified
DemandThe page answers a distinct user question
EvidenceAt least two unique value classes

Continuous learning

Pages evolve with real search and product behavior

GSC queries, internal search, saves, install copies, source clicks, and maintenance cost determine whether a page is enriched, merged, paused, or scaled.
