Like, how many decibels of evidence does this observation provide for this hypothesis? That seems potentially pretty workable, as long as you can ensure conditional independence.

Yes. For like a simple naive Bayes, you can say we start at 0, a user vote is worth +3, a merchant vote is +5, we decay by 0.1 every month, publish if we hit +13 (95%), un-publish at +10 (90%), etc. etc.

It's the same math as logits, but the scale's a bit nicer.

Thanks! I didn't realize you'd been doing that kind of thing lately.
