A trusted partner in your channel's journey.

Thumbiq was born from a simple question: why does one thumbnail get the click and another one doesn't? Instead of answering it with opinions, we answer it with a published academic model and metrics you can measure and repeat.

What we do

Delivering the best solutions.

The bottleneck is almost always the same: thumbnails designed by intuition, titles with too many topics and descriptions with no structure. We turn those three variables into measurable scores so you know what's failing and what to change first.

How we work

Your channel against your channel

Every score is compared against your own channel's history, never against others. What matters is whether this video improves on the last one.

Every number with its reason

Every score comes with a written justification. A number without a reason can't be audited, so we don't deliver it.

Transparency in the method

We say what is calculated exactly from the pixels, what is an estimate and what is editorial judgment. No black boxes.

Academic basis

The method isn't ours. The rigor is.

We start from published research and complement it with proprietary indices. The model's coefficients don't change between channels; what changes is the reading, based on your format and your history.
