Scoring & Ranking

Score each tweet for competitive intelligence value:

engagement_total = likeCount + retweetCount + replyCount + quoteCount

→ normalized 0-1 (cap at 10K), weight 0.50

```
viewCount
```
→ normalized 0-1 (cap at 500K), weight 0.30
```
has_media
```
(contains image or video) → 0 or 1, weight 0.20

python

score = 0.50 * min(engagement_total / 10000, 1.0) + 0.30 * min(viewCount / 500000, 1.0) + 0.20 * int(has_media)

Classification

Score	Tier	Label
≥ 0.70	A	HIGH_IMPACT_TWEET
0.40–0.69	B	NOTABLE_TWEET
< 0.40	C	LOW_ENGAGEMENT
