Every Monday, Wild Bite Club ranks the strongest signals in its trend database using what is happening now—not simply which trends once achieved the highest score.
The Weekly Signal combines four inputs: Current Trend Score (up to 45 points), recent verified buzz or evidence (25), recent Current-score movement (20), and newness (10). Routine CMS edits do not make a trend more relevant.
Historical Best scores remain useful context, but the weekly ranking is driven primarily by current momentum and fresh evidence.
