Demonstration clip and scoring shown for illustration — your analysis uses your own video.
What gets measured
Four signals, each one traceable back to a moment in the video rather than a vague score.
Scroll-stop score
One number from 0 to 10 that combines the opening motion, the clarity of the promise and how quickly tension appears — the three things that decide whether a thumb keeps moving.
Pacing and hold
Average shot length, the three-second hold rate and every re-hook in the timeline, measured against the videos already winning in the same niche.
Hook beat timeline
The opening is split into beats — pattern interrupt, specific promise, open loop — so you can see exactly which beat is missing in your own draft.
Copyright clearance
