Four checks, then three variants. The score is the formula — not a mystery number.
Does it stop the scroll?
Is the offer clear in 3 seconds?
Would a stranger know what you sell?
Is it generic?
Same product. Stronger hook, clearer offer, less generic.
Four checks from the same roast as Creative Lab. Hook, offer, and scroll-stop weigh most. A weak pillar pulls the total down. We never give 100.
Does it stop the scroll?
Hook and scroll-stop. If either is weak, the thumb does not pause.
Is the offer clear in 3 seconds?
Offer clarity. If the benefit is not readable in one glance, it fails.
Would a stranger know what you sell?
Offer, visual, and copy. A stranger should name the product without the caption.
Is it generic?
Hook, psychology, and scroll-stop. High scores mean it is not another template ad.
Overall is a weighted average, then 20% toward the weakest pillar. Below 50, subtract 0.4 per point. Cap 98.
The roast is the filter. Next, three new concepts from the same product — aimed at the checks that failed.
