The three moves worth the most
ranked by what they are actually worth01I1 · Audience reach index — owned channels, blended · worth 30. Publish where the audience is measurable. Private communities are real reach we cannot count, so they score nothing until they are verified at claim.
02N1 · Editorial review, signed · worth 30. Give the review something to read: specific claims, named outcomes, and third-party sources. Adjectives score a 1.
03I2 · Earned links — distinct registrable domains · worth 25. Earn links from domains that are not yours. Distinct sites count; ten links from one site count once.
None of these are for sale
Every move above is something you do, not something you buy. Paid placement buys badges, labelled rails, richer media and analytics. It buys zero points. The scoring system cannot see the billing system.
