Here is everything behind both numbers. What we measured, what we found, what each piece is worth, and where we got it. Nothing here is rounded in our favour.

The three moves worth the most
ranked by what they are actually worth01From the last scoring run. Publish somewhere the size of the audience can actually be counted. A private group is real reach we are not allowed to guess at.
02From the last scoring run. Give the review something to read — a specific claim, a named outcome, a link that is not your own marketing. Adjectives score a one.
03From the last scoring run. Guest on a show you do not own, or get billed as a speaker. Stages fade on an eighteen-month half-life whether or not anything changed.
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.
