How does Credible handle novel ideas that don't yet have strong consensus but are still valuable?
1 comments

appreciate the question and I understand the concern. Our algorithm will balance for this by surfacing and allowing discovery of novel ideas even if they don't have the strongest weight yet - as the source of that idea gets validated over time, their own track record will be used as a proxy for the quality of their future ideas.

The idea is that by relying on their eventual track record rather than just an individual claim, we can surface and reward novel ideas that have merit too.
