# YouTube Channel *Audit*

Paste any YouTube channel and get a graded report card — upload cadence, view consistency, title patterns, outlier videos, and fixes. Free.

## Frequently asked questions

- **What does the audit check?**
  
  Upload cadence and consistency, median views vs subscriber count, view distribution (are you outlier-dependent?), title patterns across your top videos, and video length mix — each graded with a concrete fix.
- **How do I run it?**
  
  Paste a channel URL, @handle, or channel ID. We pull public data via the YouTube Data API and grade it against channels in a similar size band.
- **Can I audit competitor channels?**
  
  Yes — any public channel works. Auditing a competitor next to your own channel is the fastest way to see what their cadence and titles do differently.
- **What is a healthy views-to-subscriber ratio?**
  
  A median video reaching 10-20% of your subscriber count is typical. Consistently under 5% suggests dead subscribers or weak packaging (titles + thumbnails).
- **What does outlier-dependence mean?**
  
  When one or two viral videos carry most channel views. High dependence means the format is not repeatable yet — the audit flags it and shows which repeatable patterns your top videos share.
- **Is this connected to my YouTube account?**
  
  No login needed — everything comes from the public YouTube Data API. Private analytics like CTR and watch time are not accessible; the audit works from public signals.
- **How fresh is the data?**
  
  Channel data is cached for 6 hours to respect YouTube API quotas — fresh enough for a weekly channel review.
- **Can I get the audit as a report?**
  
  Yes — enter your email after the audit and we send the full graded report card to your inbox.
