LLM/mock judgment of intensity from title/summary text — not ops or ticket data. Maps to XPS quality (with willingness to pay).
LLM/mock purchase-intent guess from text — not invoices, surveys, or paid seats. Maps to XPS quality.
Heuristic/scaffold (often random or fixed on insert) — not a verified mention trajectory. Maps to XPS novelty.
Heuristic/scaffold (often random or fixed) — not TAM research. Maps to XPS relevance (with frequency).

Source Examples
“Launch HN: Helicone.ai (YC W23) – Open-source logging for OpenAI I have _specifically_ thought of writing something just like this, so it's awesome to see it!<p>One thing I would really like to be storing with my requests is the template and parameters that created the concrete prompt. (This gets a little confusing with ChatGPT APIs, since the prompt is a sequence of messages.) Custom Properties allow a little metadata, but not a big blob like a template. I see there's a way to have Helicone do the template substitution, but I don't want that, I have very particular templating desires. But I _do_ want to be able to understand how the prompt was constructed. There's probably some danger on the client side that I would send data that did not inform the prompt construction, and balloon storage or cause privacy issues, so there is some danger to this feature.<p>Backoffs and other rate limiting sounds great. It would be great to put in a maximum cost for a user or app and then have the proxy block the user once that was reached as a kind of firewall of overuse.<p>Note your homepage doesn't have a <title> tag.”
