03 / METHODOLOGY
How we ranked it.
The same five steps produce every Top 15, including this AI & Technology list.
- 01
Collect the signals
Search interest, published coverage and platform activity are gathered across each category, hour by hour.
- 02
Weight momentum
Week-over-week change matters more than a single spike, so a story that is still building outranks one that peaked and fell.
- 03
Normalise reach
Volume is compared inside the category, never across it — a large travel story and a large gaming story are measured against their own peers.
- 04
Check the spread
An entry carried by one outlet is treated differently from one covered widely. Concentration is recorded, not hidden.
- 05
Editorial review
An editor reads the ordering before it publishes, and the strengths and tradeoffs shown on each entry are drawn from that entry's own measurements.
A score here measures attention, not quality. It says how strongly a subject is being searched, covered and shared inside AI & Technology this week — which is a different question from whether it is the best of its kind, and we do not claim to answer that one.
