How the 2026 Scorecard Grades Your Reach

1. Engagement (55% Weight)

Calculated as average interactions divided by the proper denominator per platform (followers on Instagram, X, Facebook; views on TikTok and Threads; subscribers on YouTube). Scores 50 at benchmark, 80 for strong, and 100 for viral.

2. Cadence (30% Weight)

Evaluates posts per week against 2026 research consensus (Buffer and Hootsuite frequency studies). Staying within the recommended frequency window gives full points without penalizing healthy volume.

3. Platform Spread (15% Weight)

Measures multi-channel distribution across the 9 platforms. Creators relying on a single channel are capped at 93 points due to algorithm de-platforming risk.
