Governance - Dealing with delegate overwhelm

@Chris_Swell I’ve read through the governance documents in this Forum. One aspect that is not considered yet, is the overwhelm that can happen when the forum becomes much busier.

We’ve worked on a product called SimScore API. It is designed to plug in to apps like discourse.

As you probably know, discussion thread responses become harder and harder to comprehend and prioritize as the number of responses increases. For 2 responses their is one pairwise comparison. For 100 responses there are 4950 pairwise comparisons. This is what causes the overwhelming feeling for delegates…it can take a day or 2 to map out 4950 comparisons.

SimScore API, determines the consensus priority within large numbers of ideas. It harnesses the wisdom of crowds. For each dataset we calculate the pairwise similarity score matrix. This matrix allows us to prioritize and cluster the ideas in seconds rather than hours or days.

This banner illustrates what SimScore does.

Anyway, If you are interested in plugging SimScore API into your Discourse channel, we can set up a demo call.
