Content Scoring Framework

A content scoring framework provides an objective, repeatable way to evaluate whether a piece of content meets the quality bar before publishing and whether it's performing after publishing. Without scoring, "quality" is subjective and inconsistent — what one editor calls good, another calls mediocre.

Scoring replaces opinion with measurement. Every piece gets a number. Numbers below the threshold get fixed or killed. Numbers above get published and promoted.

The Two Scorecards

Content needs two separate scores: a pre-publish quality score and a post-publish performance score.
