How it works

Step 01

Rate each dimension 1–5 based on what you know about the niche today.

Step 02

See the score

We sum the positive dimensions and subtract policy risk. Above 30/44 = recommended.

Step 03

Get matching archetypes

Your profile maps to the VideoCue series archetypes - start with what fits.

The 10 dimensions

Each rated 1 (weak) to 5 (strong). Policy risk is inverted - higher means more risk and is subtracted.

Search demand

Are people searching for it on Google and YouTube?

Evergreen value

Will the video still matter in 12 months?

AI production fit

Can AI images/video/voice create a good result?

Source availability

Are there reliable sources to cite?

Visual storytelling

Can you show the idea, not just talk about it?

Website monetization

Ads, affiliate, lead gen, SaaS, sponsorships, newsletter.

Competition gap

Are top videos old, low quality, or poorly explained?

Policy risk Subtracted

Copyright, misinformation, kids, finance, medical, synthetic media. Higher = riskier (subtracted from score).

Repeatability

Can you create 100+ topics without becoming repetitive?

Channel distinctiveness

Can the channel have a unique voice, format, and brand?

FAQ

How long does the scorer take?
About two minutes. You rate ten dimensions on a 1–5 scale, then we sum and compare against the recommendation threshold.
What does a "good" score look like?
Above 30/44. Below that, the niche works against you on enough dimensions that you'll burn out before the channel compounds.
Why is policy risk subtracted?
Copyright, kids, finance, and medical content carry demonetization and removal risk that compounds against everything else. Higher policy risk = score gets reduced.
Do I need an account?
No. The scorer runs anonymously. Sign in only if you want to save scores and compare niches across a portfolio.
How is this different from keyword tools?
Keyword tools tell you what people search for. The Niche Scorer tells you whether you can win that search with AI production at your monetization model.
Where do the archetypes come from?
They map to the six VideoCue series archetypes (How Things Work, Business Breakdowns, etc.). Your dimension profile suggests which archetype fits best.
