Hitesh Sanjay Nalamwar I see! So it’s like giving new items a ‘safe’ score until there’s enough data. I think the confidence interval thing is interesting but sounds complex. Is it something that could work for smaller sites, too?

Olanrewaju Oyedele Absolutely, it can be adapted for smaller sites! You’d just need a simplified approach to calculate a baseline average score, maybe even just at the category level. That way, every new item gets a fair start without needing tons of data right away.

makes sense
