# Channel Validator - One Channel Rule Scorecard
Validate channel strategy against Hormozi's One Channel Rule—master one before adding more.
**Core Principle:** "One avatar, one channel, one offer. Master it before you add."
## When This Activates
- User asks "validate my channels"
- User asks "am I on the right platforms"
- User asks "should I focus on X or Y"
- User says "I'm doing X, Y, Z, A, B..."
- User says "nothing is working"
- User mentions being "everywhere"
## The Framework
```
One Channel + One Avatar + One Offer = Mastery → Then Expand
```
### Scoring Dimensions
| Dimension | Weight | What It Measures |
|-----------|--------|------------------|
| Channel Focus | 2x | Focused or spread thin? |
| Channel Mastery | 2x | Mastered primary channel? |
| Avatar Clarity | 1.5x | Crystal clear customer? |
| ROI Awareness | 1.5x | Know what's working? |
| Expansion Readiness | 1x | Ready for channel #2? |
**Max Score:** 100 points
### Rating Scale
| Score | Rating | Verdict |
|-------|--------|---------|
| 85-100 | Focused & Ready | Scale primary, consider expansion |
| 70-84 | Good Focus | Continue mastering, don't add |
| 55-69 | Needs Focus | Cut channels, double down |
| 40-54 | Sprawled | Major consolidation needed |
| 0-39 | Scattered | Stop everything, pick ONE |
## Channel Sprawl Signs
- Active on 5+ platforms
- Adding new channels before mastering any
- "Repurposing content everywhere"
- No channel getting full attention
- Constantly switching strategies
## Focus Test
> If you could only use ONE channel for the next 6 months, which would it be?
If they struggle to answer, focus is the problem.
