Is this grade official?

No. It is computed by this tool from ratios of public numbers, using thresholds set here, and it affects nothing on YouTube. Treat it as a shareable summary rather than an assessment.

Which ratio matters most?

Views per subscriber usually explains the most, because it shows whether your content reaches beyond your own subscribers. That ratio most often separates a growing channel from one coasting on an audience it already had.

Why does my older channel score low?

Every ratio comes from lifetime totals, including early videos almost nobody watched. A channel that has improved substantially still looks low, because its old history is counted too.

This grade is a rough summary of four ratios computable from public numbers. It is not YouTube's assessment and affects nothing — it exists only as a summary that is easy to share.

What this is

A channel report card is a visual summary of a few ratios computable from a channel's public numbers: views per video, views per subscriber, videos per month, and subscribers per video. The grade is their average. It should be stated plainly up front: this grade is not YouTube's assessment, it affects nothing, and it is not a measure of quality — the bands behind it are choices made in this tool rather than any industry standard.

The formula

grade = average of four banded scores(viewsPerVideo, viewsPerSubscriber, videosPerMonth, subscribersPerVideo)

viewsPerVideo — total views ÷ video count.
viewsPerSubscriber — total views ÷ subscriber count.
videosPerMonth — video count ÷ channel age in months.
subscribersPerVideo — subscriber count ÷ video count.
Each ratio is scored against five thresholds, then the four are averaged.

How it works

Views per subscriber often explains the most. A channel with many subscribers but low views usually gathered them from one video that once took off, while a channel with a high ratio is reaching well beyond its own subscriber base — and the second is usually the one growing.

All four ratios come from lifetime totals, so they describe a long-run average rather than this month's form. An older channel that has since improved will look worse than it currently is, and that limit is inherent to public data — per-period figures are visible only to the channel's owner.
