+### Trigger prioritization
+
+Given that triggering attribution can affect a source's state without producing a report, we will need a new algorithm for doing trigger prioritization. Here is a sketch of how it could work:
+
+1. For every source, maintain a list of triggers, sorted in order of priority (descending), then trigger time (ascending)
+2. At the end of any report window (across all of a source's specs, breaking ties arbitrarily):
+    1. Iterate through the source's triggers in order, "applying" them to generate a list of "speculative" reports. Stop whenever privacy limits are hit.
+    2. Send all of the speculative reports that are scheduled to be emitted in the current window
+    3. Update the source's total value per trigger data, and total # of event-level reports based on all of the triggers that were successfully applied in the current window.
+    4. Delete all of the speculative reports that are not scheduled to be emitted in this window.
+    5. Delete all of the triggers associated with the current spec and window from the source's trigger list
