NS Social Media Scoring
Formula for X Post when score ≥ 2
NS Post Score = (Thesis + Proof + Authority) - (Length + Vagueness + Questions)
Where each item is just 0 or 1:
Thesis = 1 if the first line is a bold declarative claim
Proof = 1 if it contains concrete details (day-in-life, numbers, specific scene)
Authority = 1 if it includes a credible name/event as anchor
Length = 1 if itʼs long for a single post (should be a thread)
Vagueness = 1 if itʼs abstract without concrete wedge
Questions = 1 if it's question-led
