# topic-analyzer

## When to activate

Before researching, planning, or scripting any video. Topic analysis gates content investment — GO/CAUTION/NO-GO decision precedes all downstream work.

## When NOT to use

- On existing, proven pillar topics (apply trend-scout instead to track momentum).
- For niche topics in saturated verticals (use competitor-analyzer first to map landscape).
- When creator has already committed to topic — this validates decision, not overrides it.

## Instructions

1. **Gather input:** Topic name, creator niche, target audience.
2. **Run Exa search:** 90-day trend data, monthly search volume, growth trajectory.
3. **Score against Content Pillar Matrix:**
   - Topic Trend: Trending up (+50%/mo) = 25 pts; stable = 15 pts; declining = 5 pts
   - Audience Demand: 100K+ searches = 25 pts; 10K–100K = 15 pts; <10K = 5 pts
   - Competitive Gap: <10 competitors = 25 pts; 10–50 = 15 pts; >50 = 5 pts
   - Creator Expertise: Expert authority = 25 pts; knowledgeable = 15 pts; learning = 5 pts
4. **Decision rule:**
   - **GO (≥60):** Proceed to research and planning.
   - **CAUTION (40–59):** Validate demand; note expertise gaps; flag for conditional approval.
   - **NO-GO (<40):** Skip. Log reason. Revisit in 30 days if trend reverses.
5. **Output:** Structured analysis with dimensional breakdown, competitor count, search volume trend, and creator recommendation.

## Example

**Input:** "AI video editing automation for content creators"

**Analysis:**
- **Trend:** +65% growth/month (25 pts) — Emerging topic with sustained momentum
- **Demand:** 45K monthly searches (15 pts) — Solid audience but not mainstream
- **Competition:** 8 major competitors (25 pts) — Uncrowded space relative to demand
- **Expertise:** Advanced creator with 3-year automation experience (25 pts) — Clear authority

**Score:** 90 — **GO**

**Recommendation:** Strong topic. Favorable trend, minimal competition, creator expertise. Proceed to research and script.

**Output:** Viability score 0–100, decision (GO/CAUTION/NO-GO), dimensional breakdown, next action.
