How does it decide what topics are actually worth investing in versus which ones are just interesting?
It uses a three-lens evaluation: business alignment (does this topic lead naturally to your product?), search demand (are people actively looking for information on this topic?), and competitive winnability (can you realistically rank or differentiate on this topic given who already covers it?). A topic that scores high on all three lenses is a strategic priority. A topic that scores high on search demand but low on business alignment is a traffic trap — you might get visitors but they will not convert. A topic that scores high on business alignment but low on search demand might still be worth creating for sales enablement rather than organic discovery.
