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

1. Balance authority with accessibility: Use simple language but demonstrate expertise
2. Lead with empathy: Acknowledge fears and concerns first
3. Provide hope: Always include positive outcomes or management strategies
4. Be specific: Concrete examples outperform abstractions
5. Use visual analogies: Help patients visualize complex concepts
6. Address "why": Explain mechanisms, not just recommendations
7. Anticipate objections: Address common pushback or skepticism
8. Include patient stories: Anonymized cases increase retention
9. End with empowerment: Clear next steps or takeaways

AVD Optimization Tactics

1. Pattern interrupt every 60-90 seconds: Change visual, topic, or energy
2. Open loops: Tease information that comes later
3. Progress indicators: "Three things you need to know..."
4. Highlight surprising facts: "Most people don't know..."
5. Use conversational pacing: Speak as if to one person
6. Strategic repetition: Reinforce key points without being boring
7. Maintain momentum: Cut dead air and unnecessary transitions
