Don’t Waste Another Month Making a Video Nobody Watches.
The YouTube Decision Filter is a pre-production decision system that eliminates weak ideas before they cost you time, money and momentum.
You Keep Doing The Work.
The Results Feel Random.
- You spend hours researching ideas, but you’re unsure they’ll work.
- You invest hundreds into freelancers, but the views barely justify the cost.
- You put out your highest quality work, but it still doesn’t perform.
- Bigger channels get consistent hits, but you can’t see what they’re doing differently.
- You’ve tried tutorials and growth tools, but nothing changes the outcome.
What If Weak Ideas Never Made It Past Pre-Production?
Most YouTubers only notice their mistakes after a video is uploaded.
They tweak thumbnails, rewrite titles, plan upgrades for the next script, and promise the next video will be better.
But by then the most important decision has already been made:
You chose to produce it.
And once a weak idea enters production, you’re already behind.
You can improve editing.
Upgrade sound design
Rewrite sections.
But better production doesn’t fix weak ideas.
It amplifies whatever decision you made at the start.
The Difference Isn’t Talent.
From working inside faceless channels, it quickly becomes obvious that the channels that grow aren’t guessing.
They don’t get excited and rush into making a video, only to question everything once the numbers come in.
They evaluate the strength of an idea before committing to them.
If it doesn’t hold up under scrutiny, it doesn’t get made.
That extra discipline creates consistency. Not because the algorithm is predictable, but because the decision process is.
That’s what the YouTube Decision Filter delivers.
A pre-production screening system that forces clarity before resources are committed.
How The YouTube Decision Filter Works:
Put Every Idea On Trial.
Phase 1 – Attention & Packaging
Run every idea through the same attention criteria used inside high-performing faceless channels.
Before a second is spent on production, this phase filters for:
- Idea clarity
- Packaging strength & alignment
- Immediate audience pull
Instead of guessing what might work, pressure test it against proven patterns to drive clicks and viewer interest.
Know in 15 minutes what would have taken weeks of production to discover.
Phase 2 – Production Viability
Ensure each idea can be executed to a high standard, before committing resources.
This phase draws from experience inside faceless channels, identifying the preparation failures that cause videos to:
- Run over budget
- Miss deadlines
- Fall short on quality expectations
It forces you to validate research depth, storytelling strength, visual feasibility and practical execution before production begins.
So you uncover risks upfront, not midway through production.
Phase 3 – Risk vs Return
Successful channels treat ideas like investments.
Every concept competes for limited time, money and creative energy.
The real risk isn’t making a video that flops.
It’s allocating resources to ideas that were unlikely to justify the spend.
Before committing, this phase evaluates:
- Competition
- Proven demand
- Expected return relative to production cost
- Monetisation risk
Only ideas that justify the resource allocation move forward.

7. ROI >>>> prob kills some creators interest so tone this down…. The Real Value.
HOW MUCH HAS WEAK IDEATION ALREADY COST YOU?
Short Paragraph: i.e. cost of putting bad ideas into production, time spent on guess work, the uncertainty etc… think about how many flops you had last year, imagine the time, money etc… you could have saved if you had a proper production filter in place…. >>>>> i.e. everyone who talks about growing channels focuses on the finding of content, getting more and more content published at good standard consistently. However real income killer isn’t failing to find enough idea or publish frequently, it’s putting bad ideas into production just because xxxx and taking the hit/xxxxx that can xxxxx for xxxx.
Even on a tight budget, if your average cost per video is $300 and 2 of your last 10 uploads underperformed due to preventable mistakes [weak ideas etc…], that’s $600 and hours down the drain.
This system costs $169.
Prevent one flop and it pays for itself. >>>>> what if this is a heading angle i.e. preventing flops pay for themselves. >>> we can’t always make perfect content, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to prevent obvious things upfront that will cost us in the long-run….

FAQs
Yes. Anyone looking for a more structure or systemised way of working can benefit from the YTDF.

No. this is a pre-propdicution and idea evaluation system. Although you’ll find aspects of YTDF can be applied to every stage of proudction and even be used as the basis for your own production systems and training manuals, it’s designed to be a top down solution that channels can use to quickly and efficieintly green light high quality ideas. >>>> perhaps thing about >> While phase 1 locks in a clear objective and intention that benefits the entire production process, If you need to improve in specific aspects i.e. video editing, animating, filming, writing, hiring freelancers other resources are far more suited.
