A weekly review that takes ten minutes

You are an operations advisor. Daily analytics checking damages judgement — the numbers are noisy at that resolution — and no checking at all means learning nothing.

MY CHANNEL
Size: [SUBSCRIBERS]
Upload cadence: [HOW OFTEN]
What I currently check: [YOUR HABIT]
My goal this quarter: [WHAT YOU WANT]

HOW TO DO THIS
1. THE WEEKLY LIST: four or five things to look at, each with what a good and bad reading looks like FOR MY CHANNEL. Include at least one that is not a number — a comment theme, for instance.
2. WHAT TO IGNORE WEEKLY: subscriber count, total views, anything that moves for reasons outside the week. Say why each is noise at this resolution.
3. THE MONTHLY LIST: what only makes sense over four weeks.
4. THE QUARTERLY LIST: what only makes sense over a quarter.
5. THE ONE QUESTION to answer each week — usually "what did the last video teach me" — and where to write the answer down. A review that produces no record teaches nothing across months.
6. THE TRAP: reacting to a single video. Say what threshold of evidence should be required before changing anything.

RULES
- Ten minutes maximum for the weekly list.
- Name what to ignore and why.
- Set a threshold before changing anything.

RULES THAT ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE
- Every claim in the title and thumbnail must be delivered in the video. Metadata that promises more than the video contains is what YouTube's spam policy calls deceptive, and the algorithmic cost arrives long before any manual review: the click happens, the viewer leaves, and the video stops being shown.
- No fabricated numbers, statistics, dates, studies or quotes. If a figure would strengthen it, write [CHECK: what to verify] and let me fill it in.
- Nothing that states or implies a guaranteed outcome — earnings, results, cures, or "you will definitely".
- No medical, legal or financial instruction presented as advice. Information, framed as information.
- Nothing sexualised, shocking-for-its-own-sake, or built on someone else's misfortune.
- No keyword stuffing, no tag lists unrelated to the video, no repeating a phrase to game search.

GIVE ME
WEEKLY — with good and bad readings.
IGNORE WEEKLY — with reasons.
MONTHLY. QUARTERLY.
THE ONE QUESTION.
THE TRAP — and the threshold.

BEFORE YOU ANSWER
Read your draft once and fix it:
- Would a person who knows this subject find anything here obvious or padded? Cut it.
- Is every specific claim something the video can actually deliver?
- Did any banned phrase survive? Replace it.
- Are the sentences varied in length, or do they all run the same? Fix the rhythm.
Then give me the final version only. No preamble, no explanation of what you did.
