Graph API Relevance score

Question

I have some questions related to the "relevanceScore" returned by Graph API for people endpoint:

1) Are there any upper / lower limits for values that may appeared as a value of the score?
2) Can we compare the relevance score for the same email address in different moments in time? i.e. when the score for today is bigger than it was 30 days ago, does it mean that the contact is now more relevant?
3) Can we compare the relevance score for the same email address being a contact for different users? The example is: abc@test .com is contact for User A and User B. For user A the relevance score is 35, for user B 145. Does it mean that the we may say the abc@test .com is more relevant to Uer B than to User A?
4) And the most general question: can I get a list of features the score depends on?

Hello @Jacek Gulgowski

Thanks for reaching out!

Based on my research, there is no MS graph documentation which can tell upper/lower limits for Relevance score values. However, the score can be negative too.

As Relevance is determined by the user’s communication and collaboration patterns and business relationships. People can be local contacts or from an organization’s directory, and people from recent communications. So, you can compare the relevance score for the same email address in different moments in time. Higher the score, higher is the relevancy.

As mentioned previously, higher the score means more relevancy. So, abc@test .com is more relevant to User B when compared with User A.

Relevance is determined by the user’s communication and collaboration patterns and business relationships.
