Free YouTube Video Idea Validator
& Retention Hook Analyser
Two powerful AI scoring engines in one page. Validate your video idea before you film — then analyse your hook and retention strategy before you publish. Get a premium SaaS-grade score out of 100 in seconds.
Two Scoring Engines.
One Winning Video Strategy.
Validate your idea before filming. Analyse your hook before publishing. Both powered by a 5-stage SaaS scoring system.
Video Idea Validator
Score your video idea across 8 demand and virality parameters — topic demand, CTR title strength, curiosity factor, niche specificity, competition difficulty, viral angle, evergreen value, and audience relevance.
Retention & Hook Analyser
Score your hook and retention strategy across 7 parameters — first 5 second hook, first 30 second retention, pacing quality, storytelling flow, payoff timing, CTA placement, and boredom risk.
5-Stage Scoring System
Every score is classified into one of 5 stages — Critical, Weak, Moderate, Strong, or Excellent — so you always know exactly where your content stands and what to fix first.
Validate Your Video Idea
Rate each parameter honestly — the more accurate your input, the more useful your score.
How much is this topic being searched right now?
How click-worthy is your planned title?
Does the idea create a compelling knowledge gap?
How targeted is this to your specific audience?
How easy is it to rank? (15 = easy, 0 = very hard)
Does this idea have a unique or shareable angle?
Will this video stay relevant for months or years?
How relevant is this to your existing subscribers?
Analyse Your Hook & Retention
Score your content structure before publishing — fix retention issues before they cost you views.
How strong is your opening hook in the first 5 seconds?
How well does your intro keep viewers through 30 seconds?
Is the video paced well — not too fast or too slow?
Does the content flow logically and keep viewers engaged?
Does the main value/payoff arrive at the right moment?
Is your call-to-action placed at the most effective point?
How low is the risk of viewers dropping off? (10 = very low risk)

Video Validator & Hook Analyser — FAQs
Common questions about scoring your video ideas and retention strategy.
The 5-stage system classifies every score into one of five performance tiers: Critical (0–39), Weak (40–59), Moderate (60–74), Strong (75–89), and Excellent (90–100). This gives you an immediate, unambiguous read on where your video stands — not just a number, but a clear strategic signal about what action to take next.
Use the Video Idea Validator before you start filming. It helps you identify whether your idea has enough demand, virality, and competitive advantage to justify the production time. A Critical or Weak score before filming is far less costly than discovering the problem after publishing.
Use the Retention and Hook Analyser after scripting but before final editing. Score your planned script structure to identify retention risks before they are locked into the final cut. You can also use it to diagnose existing videos that are underperforming on average view duration.
Aim for Strong (75+) on both tools before publishing. An Excellent score (90+) on the Idea Validator combined with a Strong score on the Hook Analyser is the ideal combination for a video with real growth potential. Never publish a video with a Critical score on either tool without addressing the weakest factor first.
