About

What this is

PrestigeHogger is a public ranking of companies based on relative perception in direct comparisons. It is intentionally sparse: one decision at a time, one shared board.

This project is a derivative inspired by prestigehunt.com, which is no longer working.

How ranking works

We use an Elo-style model. Every valid vote updates both companies. Expected outcomes are based on rating gaps, and K adapts from model uncertainty through volatility.

How matches work

Visitors see two companies and choose left, right, tie, or skip. Skip logs activity but does not alter ratings. Ties update both sides symmetrically.

Calibration period

New companies appear in public rankings immediately after they are added.

Volatility

Volatility is derived from observed match uncertainty. It appears as the ± value next to each rating and determines the update sensitivity.

Suggestions

Anyone can submit a company suggestion. Duplicates are normalized and filtered before entering the pending queue for review.

Stack
