Questions

What does the opportunity score mean?

It's a 0–100 read on how open a niche is, built live from the top YouTube results, median views against channel size, how many small channels are winning, and how fresh the uploads are. Higher score, more room to break in.

How is this different from a keyword tool?

Keyword tools count search volume. Niche Explorer weighs demand against the channels already serving a topic and flags videos that overperformed their own channel, so you find niches where the content wins, not the subscriber count.
