Signal score
Signal score is the final 0–100 number SignalPipe attaches to a lead, computed as a weighted geometric mean of embedding match, keyword density, freshness, engagement, and author reputation, then adjusted by the competitor floor and the per-product RL weight.
Pipeline: raw multi-factor score → competitor-floor heuristic (boost to 75+ if a configured competitor is mentioned) → RL weight multiplier → cap at 100. Above 50 generates a mission for human review; the rest are stored as leads only.
Because the floor and the RL weight can shift the number significantly, signal_score is best read alongside content_score — the same formula computed before any post-processing. The dashboard flags missions where signal_score − content_score ≥ 30 so operators can verify the author is actually a buyer and not a competitor's marketer.
The score is recomputed on every scout cycle for the same URL, but the interactions table prevents the same URL from creating duplicate leads or missions.
