content · graded hooks + formats

Every hook — graded before it ships.

What gets graded on every piece of content.

factor 01

Hook pattern × niche

Historical CTR of this hook type inside your specific niche. “Breakdown but wait” averages 6.2% in crypto; 1.8% in DTC. We do not cross-pollinate.

factor 02

Niche match

How tightly the hook + topic + style fit the detected niche. Generic content gets flagged as niche-weak and scored down.

factor 03

Thumbnail strength

Visual-model score on contrast, face presence, curiosity trigger, and platform-specific thumbnail norms.

factor 04

First 3 seconds

Retention-scored opening. Weak openings get flagged in dissent — you see the grade + the reason before the clip goes live.

factor 05

Length fit

Platform-appropriate length windowing. Reels at 7s have different grading than YouTube Shorts at 45s.

output

Composite grade A / B / C

A-graded hooks ship auto; B get a revision pass; C flagged for rewrite. You never ship a C-grade opening by accident.
