# Relevance Scoring (+1)

## Relevance Scoring


Score each result on these factors (weighted by query type):

| Factor | Weight (Decision) | Weight (Status) | Weight (Document) | Weight (Factual) |
|--------|-------------------|------------------|--------------------|-------------------|
| Keyword match | 0.3 | 0.2 | 0.4 | 0.3 |
| Freshness | 0.3 | 0.4 | 0.2 | 0.1 |
| Authority | 0.2 | 0.1 | 0.3 | 0.4 |
| Completeness | 0.2 | 0.3 | 0.1 | 0.2 |


## Authority Hierarchy


Depends on query type:

**For factual/policy questions:**
```
Wiki/Official docs > Shared documents > Email announcements > Chat messages
```

**For "what happened" / decision questions:**
```
Meeting notes > Thread conclusions > Email confirmations > Chat messages
```

**For status questions:**
```
Task tracker > Recent chat > Status docs > Email updates
```
