Fresh start - cold start

Hi, for a project without initial usage data, no clicks, etc.

It's possible to use metarank from scrach or it would be better to gather some data before?

Hey @sjcotto, you will first need to gather some data in order to train the personalization model but you can still run Metarank with noop model that will return the same results it will get: https://docs.metarank.ai/reference/overview/supported-ranking-models#noop

thanks - using the noop option the ranking will still work with user-features or this is a dummy result ?

Results will be returned in the same order as you will send them
