Dr. Marcus West — 10 video ideas, graded by evidence

Seeded by two Florida videos the user flagged (The Secret, 3.5M + 534K). Every idea is a proven title structure transferred onto a topic where it doesn't exist yet — or a proven fill re-rotated. Evidence quality and structure conformance are multipliers on the score. The channel's breakout video hit 11.4K (vs old ~10-view median), so the culprit strategy is confirmed working.

How the score works

adjusted  =  raw  ×  evidence quality  ×  structure conformance

Evidence quality is graded from what was actually found: strong ×1.00 (two or more real videos, best above 150K) · partial ×0.75 (two or more, best above 35K) · thin ×0.45 (anything less). Structure conformance drops below 1.00 when the final title rewrote part of the proven structure instead of only filling its slots — the precedent then only partly applies. Every card shows its chain, so you can see exactly what was applied.

Ranking

Title-structure bank

Bank mined from the seed videos' swarm plus the existing channel DB. The 'Everyone Laughed / Released to Kill' family is proven on 4+ independent channels (The Secret 3.5M, WORLD ENIGMA 854K, Neuroveil 5.2M, Digital Explorer 3.7M, Ambrose Wild 1.2M four weeks ago). The channel's own culprit family is proven at 7.3x on-channel (11.4K vs median) and 791K-1.5M on peers. The bare rewilding family remains dead — every 'laughed/release' idea here is anchored to a feared predator x hated invasive, never a feel-good release.

The ideas

Demand = topic watch-proof · Saturation = crowding at this exact structure×topic (lower is better) · Recency = popping now · Season = fit to mid-August · Novelty = confidence the exact slot-fill is open. EXPLOIT ideas ride the seed's proven skeleton/topic with one slot rotated; EXPLORE ideas move a proven skeleton to an open topic.
