    Scores are features of most entities

    A Score is included in the campaign (or comment) feature, but it could also be a distinct feature.

    It's basically just some range of integer numbers where a small number indicates dislike and a large number indicates liking something. They could be applied to types of countries for instance.

    Alternate schemes proposed

    A Fixed, Simle range

    One idea is to use a seven step system for scores as follows:

    • -3 Boycott
    • -2 Strong Avoid
    • -1 Avoid
    • 0 Neutral
    • 1 Support
    • 2 Strong Support
    • 3 Endorse

    Variable, relative range

    Variations are

    • A range from -1 to 1, using real values as score
    • A range from -100 to 100 using integers as score
    • Other shceme

    A fixed range could be converted to a relative range by dividing the score with abs(max) or abs(minimum) and multiplying it by the the maximum value of the fixed range
