Originality Score
After render, before upload: a 0–100 score decides whether the video can publish. Six independent signals are combined into a single risk reading.
Why it matters
YouTube doesn't publish the internal score it uses to decide demonetization — but channels that fall share common patterns. Originality Score turns those patterns into auditable metrics. You see the risk before YouTube does.
What gets measured
The score combines signals about the script, the rendered video, and the channel's history. Each signal contributes a fixed weight — no single one blocks, the decision is aggregated.
- AI detectionThe script is analysed by specialised external detectors. The more human it sounds, the higher the signal.
- Structural varianceComparison of this script with the channel's recent videos. Measures narrative-structure repetition, not just words.
- Editorial decisionsCount of completed editorial checkpoints. Videos with active curation score higher.
- Lexical diversityVocabulary richness of the script. Penalises overly repetitive scripts.
- Asset repetitionReuse of images/clips versus the channel's recent videos.
- Pacing varianceCut pacing compared to the channel average. Avoids mono-pacing and extreme outliers.
What happens with the result
The score lands in one of four bands: cleared without notice, cleared with an explicit warning, blocked with written-justification override, or blocked outright. When a video doesn't pass, the scorer points to the signals pulling it down and suggests specific fixes.
Plan availability
Every plan computes the score and sees the breakdown. Overriding via written justification requires Studio or Scale — Creator must regenerate or edit.
