Demand is sampled median video performance: median views-per-day among relevant videos returned for this keyword in the last 30 days, split by length. Supply is estimated, not an exact count: the API estimate is scaled by the on-topic share observed in the same format. It is shown as rough context only and never changes the rank or verdict. Supply movement applies that identical relevance rule to both recent and comparison cohorts but is also descriptive only. Relative demand rank orders the eligible keywords within its own format: a Short is scored against other Shorts, never against long form, because the two sit orders of magnitude apart on views per day. Rank is descriptive, not a mark out of 100; absolute demand, sample, peer, channel-spread and stability gates control the verdict. The verdict is a content-production call for today, not a recommendation to remove the keyword from the locked evidence panel. Keywords whose results were mostly off-topic are excluded rather than scored.

4 keyword/format row(s) could not be ranked. They are omitted from the table rather than shown with a guessed score.

• pcos 7 day meal plan long-form: unranked: only 20% of results were on-topic, the search term is too ambiguous to measure (2 of 10 sampled videos were on-topic, 20%. Try a more specific search term.)
• pcos dessert recipes long-form: unranked: only 33% of results were on-topic, the search term is too ambiguous to measure (1 of 3 sampled videos were on-topic, 33%. Try a more specific search term.)
• pmos dessert recipes long-form: unranked: only 1 on-topic video(s) found, too few to measure (1 of 2 sampled videos were on-topic, 50%.)
• pmos high protein breakfast long-form: unranked: only 0% of results were on-topic, the search term is too ambiguous to measure (0 of 2 sampled videos were on-topic, 0%. Try a more specific search term.)

Highest observed videos in the relevant sample. Up to six per format are shown after collapsing near-identical titles and limiting any one channel to two rows. They are observations from YouTube's relevance-ranked sample, not proof of what universally "works". Every row links to its source and names the panel searches that found it. Views/day uses a one-day denominator during a video's first 24 hours, preventing a few minutes of activity from being extrapolated into an extreme daily rate.

Title words observed in relevant samples. This is a correlation, not a cause. Words and sampled median video performance are calculated separately for Shorts and long form. Nothing here shows that a word caused the views; the sample is relevance-ranked, not random. Treat these as format-specific prompts, not rules.

AI-written creative suggestions. Written against the keywords that scored highest above and screened by deterministic safety and originality checks. The evidence line under each is copied from measured data, not written by the model. Titles, thumbnails and hooks still require human editorial and factual review before publication. For Cooking, these are creative prompts, not medical advice; any health or nutrition framing must be checked by a suitably qualified human before use.

Stated up front rather than implied by omission. Every item here is a real limitation of the data behind this report.

• Only 1 earlier accepted observation is stored. Eligible comparisons are real but the historical series is still shallow.
• Not enough comparable data: No keyword/format reading has an eligible historical comparison: pcos 7 day meal plan (long: unavailable: no demand level to compare); pcos 7 day meal plan (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos breakfast (long: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos breakfast (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos dessert recipes (long: unavailable: no demand level to compare); pcos dessert recipes (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos diet (long: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos diet (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos dinner (long: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos dinner (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos high protein breakfast (long: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos high protein breakfast (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos insulin resistance meals (long: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos insulin resistance meals (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos meal plan (long: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos meal plan (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos meal prep (long: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos meal prep (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos recipes (long: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos recipes (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos recipes for weight loss (long: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos recipes for weight loss (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos snacks (long: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pcos snacks (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pmos dessert recipes (long: unavailable: no demand level to compare); pmos dessert recipes (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pmos diet (long: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pmos diet (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pmos high protein breakfast (long: unavailable: no demand level to compare); pmos high protein breakfast (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pmos insulin resistance meal prep (long: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pmos insulin resistance meal prep (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pmos meal plan (long: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pmos meal plan (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pmos meal prep (long: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pmos meal prep (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pmos recipes (long: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pmos recipes (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pmos recipes for weight loss (long: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading); pmos recipes for weight loss (short: unavailable: no eligible time-separated accepted reading). Comparisons require the configured 7-14 day separation and the same measurement population. Same-day and heavily overlapping repeats are excluded.
• 4 keyword/format pair(s) could not support a demand reading and are unranked: pcos 7 day meal plan (long), pcos dessert recipes (long), pmos dessert recipes (long), pmos high protein breakfast (long). The row-specific reasons distinguish too few relevant videos, low relevance, genuine zero, and incomplete evidence. A keyword can rank in one length and not the other; that is a real finding about where the topic lives, not a gap in the data.
• 3 keyword/format pair(s) have no comparable supply-momentum ratio because evidence was incomplete, relevance was insufficient, or the comparison denominator was a genuine zero: pcos 7 day meal plan (long), pcos dessert recipes (long), pmos high protein breakfast (long).
• The short-form cohort is identified by recorded runtime of three minutes or less, because the Data API exposes no Shorts flag and no vertical/aspect field. It is therefore a runtime proxy: it can include brief regular videos and cannot verify whether a video appeared in the Shorts feed. Videos whose runtime the API did not report, often live broadcasts, are counted in neither.
• Estimated supply is reported per length, but the API only estimates a total for the keyword as a whole. The split between the two lengths is the share each took of the sample, applied to that estimate. It is an approximation laid on an approximation, and is the softest number in this report.
• Demand momentum compares the last-30-day cohort against the same cohort measured on an earlier run. Consecutive days overlap by 29 of 30 days, so day-over-day movement is heavily damped by design. Week-over-week change is the meaningful reading; a single day's shift is not.
• A keyword is only called 'build' if its on-topic long-form videos take a median of at least 20 views/day. For the short-form cohort the bar is 200 views/day instead, because the two lengths do not share a view scale and one floor for both would pass essentially every short-form row. A lower Test call still requires 5 long-form views/day and 50 short-form views/day. Against those Build floors, today 20 of 20 short-form, and 14 of 16 long-form readings were below their respective Build floor. Relative demand rank necessarily has a winner even in a uniformly weak set, so every positive call also needs enough absolute demand, relevant videos, peer keywords and channel spread, and must survive removal of its fastest video. These floors are judgement calls set in the niche config, not measured constants.
• Supply counts are the YouTube API's own totalResults estimate, which Google documents as approximate, not an exact index count. Repeated identical searches can return materially different estimates, so supply and supply momentum are descriptive context only. They do not alter relative demand rank or any verdict and should not be quoted as absolute video counts.
• Videos are sampled by the API's own relevance ordering, not by view count, so demand describes the median inside the observed relevant sample rather than what the biggest channels achieve. The sample is the up to the first 50 results the API returns, not a random draw, so it inherits whatever ranking bias YouTube's search applies.
• Discarded a concept for 'pcos diet': its title is too close to the observed source title 'The PCOS Breakfast Advice That Actually Matters'

Method

Each keyword is searched twice against the YouTube Data API v3: once over videos published in the last 30 days, once over the block running from 90 to 60 days ago. The two windows never overlap. Statistics are requested for up to 50 videos the API returns first by relevance in each window, not the biggest by view count. Requested and returned detail counts are reconciled; partial or unavailable details cannot be ranked. Cooking relevance treats PCOS and PMOS as equivalent discovery labels. PCOD is not searched directly, but a naturally returned PCOD food video is accepted. The exact queried meal or diet wording is descriptive only; a condition-labelled food video can be relevant across cooking lanes. YouTube's English-language search setting is a preference rather than a guarantee, so relevant non-English videos remain in the measured evidence. When a clearly non-English displayed title has a validated automated translation, its English wording is visibly marked Translated Title and the uploader's original title is available from that badge on hover or keyboard focus. Translation is display-only and never changes relevance, metrics, ranking, history, or title-word observations. An English title still cannot prove that the spoken audio is English. Each sample is then split by recorded runtime: three minutes or less enters the short-form cohort, and over three minutes enters the long-form cohort. The split is done on the same data, not by a second search. Demand is sampled median video performance: median views-per-day of relevant recent videos within one length. During a video's first 24 hours, views/day uses a one-day denominator instead of extrapolating a partial day. Supply is estimated from the API's approximate totalResults, scaled by the relevant share observed in that format. Supply and supply movement are rough descriptive context only; neither changes rank or verdict. Relative demand rank is the percentile of sampled median views/day, calculated separately within each length. It orders today's eligible panel rows and is not an absolute score or a market-size estimate. For short-form (20 eligible rows), the lowest eligible median is rank 0 and the highest is rank 100, with ties sharing a rank. For long-form (16 eligible rows), the lowest eligible median is rank 0 and the highest is rank 100, with ties sharing a rank. Every positive verdict additionally requires configured absolute demand, sample, peer and channel-spread gates and must survive removal of its highest-performing video; Build uses the higher demand floor and top-quartile stability. Demand momentum compares today's sampled median against an accepted completed observation at the required time separation, matched by length and measurement population. This report's history spans 1 day(s) across 1 accepted completed observation(s). This run attempted 40 Search Queries call(s) from that separate bucket and 40 unit(s) from the general API bucket.

• Demand momentum is unavailable for seasonal conclusions: this niche requires 365 days of history and currently has 1. Once that horizon is reached, readings are compared at the configured 7-14 day separation. Until then the correct result is not enough data.

Statistics are requested for up to 50 videos the API returns first by relevance in each window, not the biggest by view count. Requested and returned detail counts are reconciled; partial or unavailable details cannot be ranked. History relevance uses an identity-aware deterministic classifier over the title and creator-supplied description. It requires evidence about Black people, communities, a roster subject, or a selected historical event; creator descriptions may recover a title subject only when that subject continues into the description. Release validation reports retrieved-sample precision and recall: only human-labelled videos that these searches returned, with near-duplicate stories kept in one split.
