Multi-Dimensional Content Gravity Engine
A scoring system that evaluates content across multiple dimensions (impact, novelty, technical depth, builder relevance) to create an editorial gravity score for prioritization
How It Works
Creates a matrix with impact drivers (industry impact, consumer impact, actionability, risk/urgency) on X-axis and intellectual gravity drivers (novelty, technical depth, builder relevance) on Y-axis, then calculates weighted scores
Components
Define impact dimensions relevant to your domain
Define intellectual gravity dimensions
Weight each dimension based on target audience needs
Create scoring rubric for each dimension (0-100%)
Calculate composite score and position in priority matrix
Calibrate thresholds for different content tiers
When to Use
When you need to automatically prioritize content in information-heavy domains where simple metrics like shares or views don't capture true importance
When Not to Use
For consumer social content where engagement metrics are sufficient, or when audience preferences are simple and well-defined
Anti-Patterns to Avoid
Example
“A $2B Nvidia investment scores: Industry Impact 90%, Consumer Impact 10%, Novelty 60%, Technical Depth 80%, resulting in high gravity score for tech audience but low consumer relevance”
