Hello,
Very briefly: We give a lot of weight – I venture to say, too much weight – to longevity and to dollar-volume of autotraders. Our feeling with the first is that long track records matter; our feeling with the second is that money talks, and real customers using a system mean more than hypotheticals.
Both systems are new but one of them shows the paid subscribers icon/award.
That said, I agree this often gives too much value to bad systems. This is why we are in the process of re-evaluating the metrics that go into the c2 score, and will hopefully roll out a new algorithm soon.
