- Breadth — distinct keywords people search
- Creators — channels with a committed footprint here (consistently rank for the niche and are focused on it), not one-off/viral rankers
- Commercial — share of demand with buying intent
- Opportunity — how open the field is (inverse of leader dominance)
- Web reach — distinct domains intercepting these searches on the web

Which topics are being watched faster
Change in view velocity per week relative to the market — median per video, day-normalized, over the last few complete weeks, measured against the median sub-niche across every niche we track. (Not view count, which only ever rises.)
