Interested in some parts of the methodology (if perhaps someone knows or the creators spot this thread):
* The pairwise comparison: does it freeze updates and calculate all shifts at the same time? For example if you had A > B > C do you calculate the impact of {A>B, A>C, B>C}, sum these impacts together (grouped by the VC), and then apply them? Or do you do it iteratively: if a firm had {A}, then {A>B}, then {A>B>C} do you add 0 then 1 then 2 comparisons as you get new data?
* How do you handle the fact that respondents to the survey are over a large time-frame, so some VCs might get better or worse over that time frame? Is there some Elo-decay applied?
- irjustin 3y agoThere are so many problems, but I think it's better to just accept than try to create a more complex methodology. Naturally this has "high school popularity" problem baked into it. So even fixes to problems won't solve fundamentals. As long as everyone knows up front what is going into (which they do via source), then you can make a judgement for yourself. Take it all with a grain of salt.
