The Viral Sauce

Stop Guessing. Start Winning.

You're creating content. But are you creating content that wins? The Viral Sauce analyzes your videos with AI-powered precision across 7 creative pillars. No more wondering why some videos pop and others flop.

• Tired of trial and error?
• Watching engagement drop?
• Not sure what's working?

Your Viral Performance Score

One number. Infinite insights. Know exactly how your video stacks up.

The Viral Sauce scores every short-form video across three core dimensions, then combines them into a single Viral Performance Score so you can see exactly where you're winning and where you need work.

• Hook Score — Measures first-second impact and viewer retention potential. Your hook is the single most important factor in whether someone watches or scrolls. We score how effectively your opening grabs attention.
• Retention Score — Analyzes pacing, rhythm, and engagement flow throughout. A great hook means nothing if viewers drop off at second five. We measure how well your video holds attention from start to finish.
• Payoff Score — Evaluates emotional connection and audience resonance. The best-performing short-form videos leave viewers feeling something — curiosity satisfied, a laugh, a new insight. We score how effectively your video delivers on its promise.
