How this was computed
Articles in the Skillenai news index are grouped into event clusters at enrichment time (hybrid embedding/BM25/entity candidate search plus an LLM join-vs-new judge). Stories are ranked by the authority of the articles published on 2026-07-19 (UTC) — the sum of their outlet and author authority — so a multi-day story only ranks on the strength of that day's coverage. Article and outlet counts are likewise scoped to the day. The highlighted link is the day's highest-authority article in each cluster.
