An event is included for a store when it is local, is a major event inside the extended radius, or both the venue and store are close to their recorded transport anchors. Recorded anchor proximity supplies the transport signal for operational prioritisation.

Scoring reference / current settings

What every relevance weight actually does

The model ranks published events against one selected store. It combines three independent signals, then uses five thresholds to decide where those signals begin, taper and stop. The values shown here update with the controls behind this window.

Before the controls

How to read the score

Each weight is the maximum number of points its signal can add. An event rarely receives every available point because each contribution fades with distance. The model adds the three contributions, rounds the result and caps the displayed score at 100.

The three weights can total any value. A total below 100 lowers the highest score the model can produce; a total above 100 creates headroom before the final cap. Minimum relevance controls visibility after scoring.

01 / Point weights

How strongly each piece of evidence counts

01A

Distance

50 points

This is the maximum contribution for simple venue-to-store proximity. A venue at the store’s recorded coordinates receives the full weight. The contribution then falls in a straight line until it reaches zero at the local-radius boundary.

Raising it makes nearby events more likely to dominate the ranking and clear the minimum score. Lowering it makes major-event and transport evidence relatively more important. Local radius controls the physical scoring area independently.

This component uses straight-line distance between recorded venue and store coordinates. Usable coordinates activate the score.

01B

Attendance

35 points

This is the maximum bonus for a sufficiently large event inside the major-event radius. It activates only when the collected record has a numeric expected-attendance figure at or above the Major-event attendance threshold.

Once active, the bonus is strongest close to the store and fades linearly to zero at the major-radius edge. Raising the weight gives verified large events more influence. Published expected attendance drives the score; capacity, broad crowd descriptions and upper bounds remain separately labelled evidence.

01C

Transport access

15 points

This is the maximum bonus when both ends have nearby recorded transport anchors: the event venue must be close to its anchor and the selected store must be close to its own anchor. Both must sit inside the Station catchment, and the event must also be inside the major-event radius.

The weaker of the two anchor proximities controls the bonus, so one poor connection reduces the entire contribution. Raising this weight prioritises transport-adjacent events using recorded anchor proximity.

02 / Thresholds

Where the scoring rules switch on and stop

Local radius3 km
Sets the outer edge of the Distance contribution. At zero kilometres an event can earn the full Distance weight; at this radius it earns none. Increasing the radius makes distance points fade more slowly and lets farther venues receive some local score. Attendance and Transport weights stay fixed.
Major-event radius30 km
Sets the outer boundary for the Attendance and Transport components. Both taper toward zero as the event approaches this edge, and neither can score beyond it. Increasing it extends regional reach but also lets distant events compete with genuinely local ones.
Major-event attendance10,000 people
Acts as the entry gate for Attendance points. An event below this number receives zero Attendance points even if it is close. Raising the threshold reserves the bonus for fewer, larger events; lowering it lets more published attendance figures qualify. Published expected attendance drives the gate, while planning upper bounds and venue capacity remain separately labelled.
Station catchment1 km
Sets how close both the venue and store must be to their recorded transport anchors. The model uses whichever end is farther from its anchor to scale the Transport contribution. Increasing the catchment admits more loosely connected locations and makes the bonus fade more slowly.
Minimum relevance20/100
Controls which events remain visible for a selected store after scoring. Raising it produces a shorter, more selective feed; lowering it retains weaker matches. Score calculation stays fixed. In All stores mode, each event is judged by its highest store score; set the minimum to zero to inspect the complete collected feed, including venues awaiting coordinates.

03 / Interpretation

How to read the score

This transparent sorting aid ranks events using location, published expected attendance and recorded transport proximity. A higher score moves an event up the operational review queue under the selected rules.
