## Title

    Use bounded ranking adjustments with explicit filter precedence

## Body

    FACT: The examined client used a small bounded local preference adjustment after eligibility, while explicit future, title, and category filters took precedence. INFERENCE: Explainable bounded ranking is safer than an unbounded personalized score for a small offline product. RECOMMENDATION: Separate eligibility, explicit intent, and optional ranking bonuses; disclose the reason on demand and avoid invented percentages.
