Scoring Methodology

Viral Potential Score (0-100)

Topic Factors (40 points):

• Search demand: 15 pts (estimated from trend data)

• Emotional resonance: 10 pts (fear, hope, curiosity)

• Timeliness: 10 pts (recent news, seasonal relevance)

• Novelty: 5 pts (unique angle or new information)

Engagement Factors (30 points):

• Shareability: 10 pts (will people send to family/friends?)

• Comment-worthiness: 10 pts (controversial or discussion-inducing?)

• Practical value: 10 pts (actionable information)

Retention Factors (30 points):

• Hook potential: 10 pts (compelling opening)

• Information density: 10 pts (value per minute)

• Narrative flow: 10 pts (story or logical progression)

View Prediction Formula

Estimated Views = Base_Audience × Topic_Multiplier × Quality_Factor × Trend_Factor

Where:

• Base_Audience: 5,000-15,000 (typical for established medical education channel)
• Topic_Multiplier: 0.5-10.0 (based on search volume and competition)
• Quality_Factor: 0.8-1.5 (based on production quality, assumed 1.0)
• Trend_Factor: 0.5-3.0 (based on current trending status)

Range Output:

• Minimum (conservative): Lower quartile estimate
• Expected (median): Most likely scenario
• Maximum (optimistic): Upper quartile with viral potential

Best Practices

For Medical Education Content

• Balance authority with accessibility: Use simple language but demonstrate expertise

• Lead with empathy: Acknowledge fears and concerns first

• Provide hope: Always include positive outcomes or management strategies

• Be specific: Concrete examples outperform abstractions

• Use visual analogies: Help patients visualize complex concepts

• Address "why": Explain mechanisms, not just recommendations

• Anticipate objections: Address common pushback or skepticism

• Include patient stories: Anonymized cases increase retention

• End with empowerment: Clear next steps or takeaways

AVD Optimization Tactics

• Pattern interrupt every 60-90 seconds: Change visual, topic, or energy

• Open loops: Tease information that comes later

• Progress indicators: "Three things you need to know..."

• Highlight surprising facts: "Most people don't know..."

• Use conversational pacing: Speak as if to one person

• Strategic repetition: Reinforce key points without being boring

• Maintain momentum: Cut dead air and unnecessary transitions

When to Use Multiple Research Iterations

For content ideas scoring 85+:

• Run initial analysis

• Conduct deep competitive research

• Search for recent medical publications

• Analyze comment sections of top 5 competing videos

• Check Reddit/forums for patient perspectives

• Synthesize into comprehensive blueprint

This ensures the highest-potential ideas get the deepest analysis.
