Ranking inputs
The most useful signals are:- response rate
- intro success rate
- meeting conversion rate
- reliability score
- freshness and decay
- relationship memory and evidence signals
- context fit for the requested goal
Practical interpretation
| Signal | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Reliability | A connector who often follows through is more valuable than one with broad but weak reach |
| Freshness | Old relationships should rank lower unless there is new evidence |
| Outcome history | Prior intro outcomes are stronger than inferred similarity |
| Context fit | The best connector can vary by investor ask, customer intro, hiring, or partnership goal |
What users should see
- who ranked first
- why they ranked first
- what would make another connector stronger
- whether the recommended connector is overused or cooling down
