What good, weak and skip mean
The three verdicts, what each one gives you, and what to do next.
Every completed analysis ends with one of three verdicts and a one-sentence reason.
Good
Your brand genuinely fits this conversation. People are asking about a problem you solve, comparing options in your space, or sharing experiences where yours would add something. You typically get 2 to 3 draft starting points and 3 to 5 talking points. Next step: rewrite a draft in your own words and post it.
Weak
There's a loose fit. Your brand could be relevant, but the connection is thin or the thread is mostly about something else. You still get drafts and talking points. Next step: only post if you can add something clearly useful. Often the best reply barely mentions your brand, or doesn't mention it at all.
Skip
Posting here would look forced, off-topic or against the community's norms. Examples: your brand isn't relevant, the thread or its comments show that promotion isn't welcome, the thread is a joke or rage-bait, or it's closed to new comments. There are no drafts. Next step: move on. A skip protects your account's reputation.
A skip uses one credit, like any other completed analysis. See Why skip results use a credit.
What is not a verdict
If we can't read a thread (removed, deleted, private, detected as not in English, or temporarily unreachable), you'll see a message instead of a verdict, and no credit is used.
ThreadMention judges from the post and its top comments. It doesn't read the subreddit's rules page, so always check the rules yourself before posting.
The age of a thread is not, on its own, a reason for a skip. Older threads that are still open can still be worth replying to.
