Problem: the heuristics for ranking page value, frecency or scoring, could improve by adding more signals from user activity | '''Problem''': the heuristics for ranking page value, frecency or scoring, could improve by adding more signals from user activity | ||
Solution: Let's experiment with a basic set of new signals that are already available (e.g. share events, etc...) and add them to a scoring system to test how we can improve relevance to users measured by CTR. | '''Solution''': Let's experiment with a basic set of new signals that are already available (e.g. share events, etc...) and add them to a scoring system to test how we can improve relevance to users measured by CTR. | ||
Hypothesis: If we deploy a scoring/ranking system and feed it more signals making score more accurate, we will achieve higher interactions on page. | '''Hypothesis''': If we deploy a scoring/ranking system and feed it more signals making score more accurate, we will achieve higher interactions on page. | ||

* B: What user signals can we enable in gecko and feed into Activity Stream's scoring system for the long term or understanding what signals matter? We could consider uplifting behind a pref, where AS can flip the pref. | * B: What user signals can we enable in gecko and feed into Activity Stream's scoring system for the long term or understanding what signals matter?
