Every match in Scrada gets a number from 1 to 10. Here is what that number is actually measuring, and why the 6s are sometimes the ones to read first.
Why a score at all
Keywords are blunt. The same phrase shows up in a red-hot buying question and in someone reminiscing about a tool they used years ago. A relevance score reads the post the way a person would and tells you, at a glance, whether it is worth your time, so you triage in seconds instead of reading everything.
The two things it weighs
Each match is judged on two axes:
- Buyer intent, is this person looking for, deciding on, or frustrated with a solution right now? Or just talking?
- Fit, does what they describe actually match what you sell, or is it adjacent and off-target?
High on both is a 9 or 10. High intent but loose fit, or a perfect fit with no urgency, lands in the middle. Neither, and it is a 2 or 3 you can skip.
What a 9 looks like versus a 3
A 9: "Looking for a tool that monitors Reddit for my SaaS brand mentions in real time, what do you use?" Explicit intent, exact fit, posted now. A 3: "Anyone else miss the old Reddit design?" Your keyword matched, but there is no buyer behind it.
Why the 6s matter
It is tempting to read only the 9s and 10s. But the middle band is where the non-obvious leads hide: the person describing your exact problem without knowing your category exists, or quietly unhappy with a competitor. Those are often the easiest to win because nobody else is replying. Skim the top, but do not ignore the middle.
How to use it day to day
Set an alert threshold so only strong matches interrupt you (say, 7 and up), and review the middle band in a once-a-day pass. You get the urgency of real-time without the firehose. Start free and watch your first scores roll in within minutes.
