Ranking Profiles

Last Updated: 2026-02-19 Confidence: High

Summary

Ranking profiles are named, versioned scoring functions declared in schema. They reference signals, relationship weights, recency curves, and diversity rules. Profiles live in the database, are versioned alongside data, and can be swapped at query time by name.

Key Facts:

  • Profiles are schema-level declarations, not application code
  • Each profile defines: primary signals, secondary signals, boosts, gates, and diversity rules
  • The same profile can operate on different candidate sets (global vs category vs social graph)
  • Profiles are versioned — old versions remain queryable
