BQ-2-Effort

The Effort quantifies the work invested in content creation through two key factors: Format Type and Production Quality.

• Format Type reflects content complexity:

  • Video (80 pts): High effort (editing, scripting, production)

  • Infographic (60 pts): Medium effort (design, data visualization)

  • Text (10 pts): Base effort (written content)

• Production Quality recognizes polish level:

  • Professional (+20 pts): Studio-grade (e.g., custom animations, high-end editing)

  • Enhanced (+10 pts): Improved visuals/audio (e.g., branded templates)

  • Basic (0 pts): Minimal processing

Total Effort Bonus is the sum of both components (max 100 pts), directly integrated into the YapScore formula. This system rewards high-value content while maintaining transparent, objective scoring.
