Signal Score

What is Signal Score?

Signal Score ranks podcasts by meaningful discovery behavior, not by who is already biggest. It blends scout approvals, saves, shares, repeat engagement, and editorial review into one weighted score.

Ranking notes

High-intent actions count more than passive traffic.
Trusted scouts carry more weight than brand-new accounts.
Recency can matter for discovery, but it is not treated as a proxy for quality.
Per-user caps and distinct-actor rules limit gaming.

Signal Score is directional, not absolute. New shows can move quickly, established shows can cool off, and no score is paid placement.
