Intelligence Hub
Stop guessing what works. Start scanning.
Every successful YouTube channel has outlier videos — the ones that massively overperformed the rest. Intelligence Hub finds them, scores them, and shows you the pattern hidden inside.

The problem
The problem with YouTube analytics
YouTube Studio shows you how videos performed in isolation — views, watch time, CTR. What it doesn't show you is why certain videos performed far better than everything else you made that month.
Creators spend hours analyzing dashboards but never identify the signal inside the noise. Intelligence Hub runs the analysis for you: it finds the outliers, ranks them by how much they outperformed your baseline, and surfaces the patterns that explain the gap.
How it works
Three steps to your outliers
01
Enter a channel handle
Paste any YouTube channel handle — yours or a competitor's. No channel ID required.
02
We analyze recent uploads
We pull the channel's most recent videos via the YouTube Data API and calculate each video's performance ratio against the channel baseline.
03
Surface the outliers
Videos with an outlier score above the threshold are ranked, tagged, and surfaced with the specific metrics that explain why they overperformed.
The metrics
What the scores actually mean
Outlier Score
A statistical score comparing each video against similarly-aged videos on the same channel, so newer and older uploads are judged fairly
Performance Ratio
Views relative to channel baseline — a 2.4× ratio means this video got 2.4× more views than the typical video on that channel
Age-adjusted Channel Baseline
Calculated from the channel's latest 50 uploads, grouped by video age, so new videos are not compared with old ones
Example: A channel with a 500K view baseline that produces a video with 1.2M views has a 2.4× performance ratio. That's an outlier. Intelligence Hub finds every video like it and groups them by common attributes.
Use cases
How creators use Intelligence Hub
Find your own repeatable formats
Scan your own channel to see which video formats, topics, or thumbnail styles consistently produce outliers. Double down on what your audience already proved it loves.
Reverse-engineer competitors
Scan the top channels in your niche to discover which content formats are working right now — before you spend days on a video with a 0.8× performance ratio.
Validate ideas before filming
Before committing to a video concept, check whether similar content has produced outliers in your niche. Data-first content planning beats intuition every time.

FAQ
Intelligence Hub questions, answered
What is the Intelligence Hub?
The Intelligence Hub scans any public YouTube channel by handle and finds the videos that outperformed that channel’s own baseline. Each video gets an outlier score and a performance ratio, so you can see the formats and topics that worked.
What is a performance ratio?
A performance ratio is a video’s views divided by the channel baseline. A 2.4× ratio means the video got 2.4 times more views than the typical video on that channel.
Can I scan a competitor’s channel?
Yes. You can scan any public YouTube channel by handle, whether it is your own or a competitor’s, and you do not need the channel ID.
Which plan includes the Intelligence Hub?
The Intelligence Hub is included in the Creator plan. See the pricing page for plan limits and the Lifetime Deal.
