Nexus Clothing’s 90 unique product types are consolidated into 20 category groups for manageable priority assignment. Each group has a default priority and seasonal modifiers that adjust the priority for each of the four seasons.
The product type naming convention follows a hierarchical pattern:
Tag modifiers adjust the seasonal base priority up or down based on the product’s tags. They are applied after the seasonal priority is determined but before the final score is clamped to the 0-5 range.
Tags are evaluated in the order listed above. Override tags (archived, DEAD50) take immediate effect and short-circuit all further evaluation. Adjustment tags are cumulative but the final score is clamped to the 0-5 range.
EXAMPLE: Tag Modifier Application
==================================
Product: "Jordan Craig Stacked Jeans"
Category: Jeans & Pants
Season: Winter
Seasonal priority: 4
Tags: jordan-craig, NAME BRAND, in-stock
Step 1: Check overrides
- No "archived" tag -> continue
- No "DEAD50" tag -> continue
Step 2: Apply adjustments
- "NAME BRAND" -> +1 -> priority = 5
- "in-stock" -> +1 -> priority = 6 -> clamped to 5
Final priority: 5
EXAMPLE: Override Tag
=====================
Product: "Old Season Hoodie"
Category: Hoodies & Sweatshirts
Season: Winter
Seasonal priority: 5
Tags: archived, DEAD50, NAME BRAND
Step 1: Check overrides
- "archived" found -> OVERRIDE to 0
- Return immediately (skip all other modifiers)
Final priority: 0
Products created within the configured threshold (default: 14 days) receive a minimum priority of 5, regardless of their category or seasonal assignment. This ensures new products get immediate advertising visibility.

The new arrival boost is applied after tag modifiers but does not override exclusion tags. A new product tagged archived or DEAD50 still receives priority 0.
