The plurality of predictive outcomes includes a reciprocal engagement probability. The method includes ranking, by the messaging platform, the plurality of messages based on the predictive outcomes, and transmitting, by the messaging platform, over the network, at least a subset of the plurality of messages to be rendered on a client application according to the rank.
