▶How Signal Scores Work

Signal Scores are an objective weighting of content density, not a measure of how entertaining a piece is.

  • Source Depth: Rewards long-form masterclasses, penalizes short clips.
  • Verified Quotes: Rewards direct, attributed expert statements.
  • Structural Richness: Rewards clear takeaways, embedded media, and frameworks.
  • Cross-expert Wiring: Rewards content that connects to a broader strategy.

Only the highest density pieces earn ESSENTIAL, HIGH, or STRONG badges.
