Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for stabilizing recommendation rankings subject to fast feedback-loop dynamics. A circuit breaker layer monitors ranking position time series to compute ranking velocity and a catalog-level ranking volatility index, detects oscillations via frequency-domain analysis, and measures exposure concentration using concentration indices. The system may additionally detect absolute quality drift using calibration probe items and a probe-to-organic engagement gap. A composite instability score selects among graduated intervention tiers, including diversity-weight adjustment, ranking velocity capping, ranking freezes using cached stable rankings, and fallback rankings based on longer-horizon popularity. The system may classify sessions as agent-originated or human-originated using behavioral fingerprinting and selectively throttle or down-weight agent-originated feedback during instability while preserving human experience. Post-incident analysis may generate causal traces and propagation graphs for remediation and threshold refinement.
