# Post score
> What the number next to your caption measures, what each of the eleven checks looks at, and how to raise it.
Every post in the editor carries a score out of 100. It's a rough read on whether the caption is likely to earn attention — not a prediction of how the post will perform, and not something you have to satisfy before publishing.
Select the number to open the checklist behind it.
## What the number means
| Score | Label |
| -------- | ------ |
| 85–100 | High |
| 70–84 | Strong |
| 50–69 | Fair |
| Below 50 | Low |
The score is the sum of eleven checks whose weights add up to 100. A check counts as passed once it earns 70% of its weight, so an item can contribute points while still showing as unpassed.
Nothing is blocked by a low score. You can publish a post scoring 12.
## The eleven checks
| Check | Weight | What it looks at |
| ---------------------------------------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Caption has publishable substance | 10 | Whether there's a real sentence, not just media |
| Opening line gives people a reason to stop | 12 | A question, a number, or a benefit in the first line, kept short |
| Caption length fits the selected channel | 10 | Length against the limits of the channels you picked |
| Post communicates a concrete value or takeaway | 12 | Whether there's something specific rather than general |
| Text is easy to scan | 8 | Line breaks and structure |
| Caption invites a response or next action | 10 | A question or call to action |
| Post includes visual media | 10 | Whether an image or video is attached |
| Hashtag count fits the channel | 8 | Hashtag count against what that network expects |
| Links do not distract from engagement | 6 | Link count and placement |
| Writing is readable at social speed | 8 | Average sentence around 22 words or fewer, simple wording |
| Caption avoids spam signals | 6 | No more than 6 emoji, no more than 3 exclamation marks, not heavy on capitals |
The two heaviest are the opening line and having a concrete takeaway, at 12 each. That's deliberate — they're the two that most affect whether anyone reads past the first line.
## Raising it
Each unpassed check comes with a specific suggestion, and next to it a **Fix** action that hands just that problem to the AI. The fix is scoped: *Fix: Caption avoids spam signals* is told to remove spam signals and leave the rest of your caption verbatim, rather than rewriting the post.
Each fix costs 1 credit, the same as any other AI edit. See [Edit a caption with AI](/help/ai-copywriter).
Two checks can't be fixed by rewriting:
* **Post includes visual media** — attach an image or video.
* **Caption length fits the selected channel** — this moves when you change which channels the post goes to, because the limits differ. See [Character and media limits](/help/channel-limits).
## Don't chase 100
The score rewards a particular shape of post: a hook, a takeaway, a prompt to respond, an image, restrained punctuation. That shape suits most marketing posts and actively doesn't suit some — a short factual announcement will score Low and still be exactly the right post.
Treat a Low score as worth a second look, not as a verdict.
