SCORING SYSTEM

THE SCORECARD

Every post the Engine generates gets scored 1–35 across seven attention criteria. Higher isn't always better — but lower is always boring.

/ 5
Hook strength

Does line one stop the thumb? If you can scroll past it, it's dead.

/ 5
Relatability

Could 100 strangers say 'this is so me' or 'this is so them'?

/ 5
Emotional trigger

Anger, joy, validation, shame, recognition. Pick one. Pull honestly.

/ 5
Comment bait

Does it leave space for the audience to perform their take?

/ 5
Controversy tension

Is there a fault line? A side to take? A position to defend?

/ 5
Pattern interrupt

Does it look or sound different from the last 50 posts in their feed?

/ 5
Platform fit

Cadence, format, length, tone — does it belong where it's posted?
