viral-score — is this clip worth publishing?

A fixed rubric for scoring a vertical clip's chance of travelling. Its value is that it is fixed: the same clip scores the same on Monday and Friday, and two clips are comparable because they were measured with the same instrument.

So do not substitute your own judgment for the rubric and do not adjust the weights. If a clip has a quality the rubric does not capture, say so in the reasons — but score it with this.

Score candidates before rendering whenever you can. Judging a transcript excerpt costs seconds; editing a clip that gets discarded costs an afternoon.

The ten criteria

Each is scored 0-10.
