What the score tells you
Hook
Whether the first seconds grab attention - the single biggest driver of whether a short gets watched or scrolled past.
Emotion
Whether there's humor, surprise, or relatability that makes someone feel something and share.
Clarity
Whether the moment makes sense on its own, without the rest of the video for context.
Value
Whether the moment is packed with insight or value, not filler - the substance that makes a clip worth saving.
Quotability
Whether there's a line memorable enough to caption a repost with - the thing that travels.
