How Are Ideas Scored?

What does "non-linear scoring" mean in simple terms?

Answer: Non-linear scoring means that the rate at which you gain or lose points doesn't stay constant. Small movements towards your target might give modest score increases, but as you get significantly closer to the target, the score can increase much more rapidly. The same applies in reverse for predictions moving away from their targets.

How does scoring relate to the popularity or agreement of an idea?

Answer: Scoring is primarily based on how close an idea comes to hitting its target, rather than its popularity or the number of agreements. While community engagement is valuable, the platform emphasizes objective measurement through the scoring system.

What happens to the score if my prediction surpasses its target?

Answer: If your prediction outperforms its target, you benefit from this outperformance. This means that your score can grow even higher than if it merely met its target.

Are there penalties for ideas that do not hit their target?

Answer: Yes, the further your idea deviates from its target, the more your score will decline. This decline is non-linear, so significant deviations from the target can lead to steeper score drops.

How can I prevent my score from dropping significantly?

Answer: It's essential to manage your ideas proactively. If you realize that one of your ideas is not likely to hit its target, it's beneficial to close the idea and prevent a more substantial score decline.

Why should I opt for more conservative targets?

Answer: While ambitious targets can be enticing, setting conservative and more realistic targets increases the likelihood of your predictions being accurate. Consistent accuracy improves your scores and positively impacts your trust rank on the platform.

How important is research when proposing an idea?

Answer: Research is crucial. A well-researched idea, taking into account the asset's history, market conditions, and other influential factors, is more likely to be accurate and achieve a better score.
