The 3-Checkpoint Pre-Upload System

TAM — Total Addressable Market

Search your topic on YouTube (last 12 months). If top 5 videos have 500K+ views → HIGH TAM. If they cap at 50K → low ceiling. High quality won't break a low-TAM topic.

Outlier Score Formula

Outlier Score = Target Video Views ÷ Channel Average Views. Score of 3x–5x or higher = algorithm is pushing this topic to cold audiences. This is your green light.

Competition Distribution

Distributed (many creators sharing views) = 🟢 Go. Monopolized (1–2 creators dominate 80%) = 🟡 Need new angle. Low TAM + Low Outliers = 🔴 Retire the idea.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the YouTube outlier score formula?▾

Outlier Score = Target Video Views ÷ Channel Average Views. A score of 3x–5x or higher confirms standalone algorithmic demand beyond the creator's loyal audience.

What is TAM in YouTube strategy?▾

TAM (Total Addressable Market) is the maximum potential view ceiling for your topic. A micro-niche has a small TAM — even a great video hits its ceiling fast. A broad niche has a much higher TAM but requires stronger packaging.

Does this prompt work with free ChatGPT?▾
