Yeah. A thing I have wanted out of the Review (but which the current design doesn’t especially enable) is clearer crossyear comparisons, mostly as a feedback signal to the LessWrong team to figure out “is the stuff we’re doing working? How is the overall ‘real’ health of the site, as measured in Posts That Mattered?”
We thought about implementing some kind of pairwise comparison engine, but it seemed like more engineering work than made sense.
We have different numbers of people voting each year, who don’t vote consistently. But, it might be interesting to compare “the score of each post, divided by number of paticipating voters” and then see how many posts score above particular thresholds or something, as a rough proxy.
