viral-score

Use to judge whether a short-form clip is worth publishing — scores a reel, short or podcast excerpt 0-100 on ten weighted criteria with automatic penalties, then ranks a batch and says where the cut-off falls. Run it on transcript candidates before rendering. NOT writing the hook or caption (that is `shortform-packaging`), NOT inventing the idea (that is `shortform-ideation`), NOT executing the edit (that is `shortform-editing`).

# 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.
