Sure. So I’m thinking that for impact, you’d have sort of causal factors (Scale, importance, relation to other work, etc.) But then you’d also have proxies of impact, things that you intuit correlate well with having an impact even if the relationship isn’t causal. For example, having lots of comments praising some project doesn’t normally cause the project to have more impact. See here for the kind of thing I’m going for.
