Noise Report

What VQV filtered or down-ranked

VQV does not try to show every match. This report summarizes weak matches, duplicate pressure, low-signal findings, and source limits in the latest public build.

It is a transparency view built from aggregate public metrics, not private logs.

How to read this

High noise means broad or ambiguous matches. High duplicate pressure means repeated URLs or overlapping source coverage. Rate limits mean VQV had less fresh source coverage for that run.

What VQV does

Repeated URLs are deduped, weak matches are down-ranked, and LOW SIGNAL/NOISE findings are kept out of the main reading surfaces unless a topic has very limited data.
