Awario: Change score for zero reach from 0 to -4 #131

Closed friedger closed 5 years ago

friedger commented 5 years ago

What is the problem you are seeing? Please describe. Zero reach is valued 0 points

How is this problem misaligned with goals of app mining? Doing no marketing activity does not align with the goals of growth. The difference between no activity and a little activity should be bigger than 1 score point.

What is the explicit recommendation you’re looking to propose? Use the following formula =if(T46=0, -4, LOG10(T46)) instead of =if(T46=0, 0, LOG10(T46))

Describe your long term considerations in proposing this change. Please include the ways you can predict this recommendation could go wrong and possible ways mitigate. -4 is the negative value for a reach of 10k.

**Additional context This is an improvement of #127

I think we might be too heavily punishing teams in this model - there are valid reasons to wait on marketing and I don't want to get into so heavy-handedly dictating they be focused on growth that it destroys their score if they've decided to wait on that.

I feel like what you're really still trying to get at here is punishing Miners that aren't actively working and I still believe there are more direct ways of doing this if that's what we want to accomplish.

Indeed, I believe that dead projects should receive as little rewards as possible.

There is a difference between "wait on marketing" and leaving a trace that the team is still active.

What are valid reasons that are aligned with the goals of the app mining program?

cuevasm commented 5 years ago

You're equating not marketing to 'dead project' in this model though. I agree dead projects should not get rewards, but a project that is quiet is not necessarily dead. Why apply a proxy like this when we can simply ask the team for a status update every quarter or something.

cuevasm commented 5 years ago

I generally think it's a mistake to try to make a completely unrelated output from Awario and extrapolate whether or not that means the team is actively developing their product further.

Let's move the dead project discussion to #132

This issue is about the value of zero reach. @cuevasm Do you think -2 ( 100 reach) is fairer?

friedger commented 5 years ago

Decision will be taken in #135
