Hook analyzer

The score is an estimate from 0 to 100 of how likely the words alone are to make a viewer keep watching. Lines that open with a greeting or a warm-up land low. Lines that name the topic but give no reason to stay land in the middle. Lines with a specific stake or curiosity gap in the first words land high.

Before the model reads your line, a few instant rule-based checks run first: whether it starts with a warm-up, how long it takes to say, whether it has something specific in it, and whether it talks to the viewer or tells a personal stake. They are rules of thumb, not measurements.

Most first drafts improve with one of a handful of changes:

• Delete the warm-up. Start with the second sentence.
• Move the payoff or the stake to the first few words.
• Swap a general claim for a specific one from your own experience.
• Cut it down so it lands in about three seconds.
• Say 'you' to the one person who has this problem.
