Virality Scoring

Score every video before publishing. Read references/virality-scoring.md for the full methodology.

Criteria

7 dimensions, scored 0-100 each:

1. Hook Strength — Does frame 1 + first 3 seconds force a pause?
2. Emotional Impact — Does it trigger a visceral response (not just "interesting")?
3. Pacing — Does every second earn the next second?
4. Text Readability — Are captions legible on mobile, properly timed?
5. Scroll-Stop Power — Would this stop a thumb mid-scroll in a feed?
6. Completion Likelihood — Will viewers watch to the end?
7. Shareability — Would someone send this to a friend?
