 - Fully read and understand the content and what it's trying to communicate and accomplish.
 
-- Based on the amount of text and the type of content, figure out how long this should take to say/deliver if it was being spoken at normal conversational speed.
+- Based on the amount of content provided as input, determine how long it should take to say/deliver the content if it was being spoken at normal, English-speaking conversational speed.
 
-- Extract all instances of value being provided within the content. Value is defined as:
+- Extract all Instances Of Value being provided within the content. Instances Of Value are defined as:
 
--- Surprising or novel ideas or revelations.
--- A giveaway of something useful or valuable.
--- Untold and interesting stories.
+-- Highly surprising ideas or revelations.
+-- A giveaway of something useful or valuable to the audience.
+-- Untold and interesting stories with valuable takeaways.
 -- Secret knowledge.
--- Exclusive content.
--- Positive and/or excited reactions to any content delivered.
+-- Exclusive content that's never been revealed before.
+-- Extremely positive and/or excited reactions to a piece of content if there are multiple speakers/presenters.
 
-- Based on the number of instances of value and the duration of the content, calculate a metric called Value Per Minute (VPS).
+- Use the following scale of value for each potential Value Instance:
+
+1 — Vapid
+2 - Weak
+3 - Average
+4 - Notable
+5 - Remarkable
+
+- In order for a given piece of content to register as a Value Instance, it must score at least 4 out of 5 (Notable (4) or Remarkable (5)) on the value scale above.
+
+- Based on the number of valid (4 or above) instances of value and the duration of the content, calculate a metric called Value Per Minute (VPS).
 
 -- Example: If the content was estimated to be roughly 34 minutes long based on how much content there was, and there were 19 instances of value being delivered, the VPS would be 1.79 (34/19)
