How do I record how published work performed?
A performance record links one of your scripts to the URLs where it was published, and lets you write a retention summary and performance notes of up to five thousand characters each. The value is that the lesson sits beside the work rather than in a separate file nobody reopens, so when you write the next script, your reading of the last one is in front of you.
What a record holds
From performance records, create one:
- The script that was published, which must be one of your own.
- Platform links where it went out.
- A retention summary, optional, up to 5,000 characters.
- Performance notes, optional, up to 5,000 characters.
Why it lives beside the script
Because numbers alone teach nothing. "A hundred thousand views" does not tell you what to do next time; "the opening ran long and it dropped at twenty seconds" does.
Tying the note to the script means you find it when it is useful: while writing the next one, not while hunting for an old file.
One practical habit
Write the note a week after publishing, not on day one. First-day numbers measure your posting time more than they measure your content.
