How we decide what gets surfaced

Event Dime uses structured event data, source signals, and recommendation logic to decide what to show. The goal is to expose enough context for users and admins to understand why a page exists, why a listing appears, and how the recommendation score was produced.

Recommendation principles

  • Preference aware

    Recommendations are based on saved category preferences and user activity.

  • Explainable

    Admin views expose score, source, calculation basis, and detailed reasoning when available.

  • Live when possible

    The admin page runs the live scorer so you can compare the current output with the stored record.

  • Fallback safe

    If the LLM path cannot run, the system falls back to the heuristic scorer.

Content quality rules

  • Use original copy

    City and trust pages include original explanatory text instead of repeating only source data.

  • Avoid thin pages

    Private utility pages can be noindexed so search engines focus on meaningful public content.

  • Keep sources visible

    Readers should be able to tell where a listing came from and when it was generated.

  • Correct mistakes quickly

    When a listing is wrong, the contact path should make correction easy.
