# Top-post ranking request

Ask for one metric, a fixed scope, and explicit missing-data treatment.

## Query

Rank the top [number] posts in [selected sources] from [start] to [end] by [reactions, views, or forwards], using [raw or normalized values]. Include citations, snapshot timing, eligible and measured counts, and missing-coverage reasons.

## Inputs

- **Metric:** The one captured field that determines rank order.
- **Scope:** Selected sources, date range, timezone, and overall or per-channel ranking.
- **Result size:** The number of posts needed for the human review queue.

## Expected output

- Ordered posts with metric values and citations
- Snapshot timestamp and normalization
- Eligible, measured, and missing coverage

## Review checks

- [ ] Never rank missing data as zero
- [ ] Open each top-post citation
- [ ] Avoid equating engagement with credibility
