THE NINE

Every website has nine gates to revenue

The sequence a visitor and a machine must both clear before you get paid. Nine gates. Every one open, or nothing gets through.

Additive score

67

How much work is outstanding.

Throughput

0%

The geometric mean. How much actually gets through.

That gap is the whole pitch. A site perfect on eight gates and shut on the ninth earns nothing — perfect crawlability with no call to action is a beautifully indexed page that never asks for the sale. 67% additive, 0% throughput is exactly how a site looks healthy while earning nothing, and no competitor’s scanner will tell them that.

How it ranks the work

The biggest lever isn’t the lowest percentage

Mobile / A11y is 0% healthy but worth only 4 points. Content leaves 9 on the table. Because the model multiplies, the return comes from the gate that is both weak and heavy — so it ranks by recoverable points and breaks ties toward the more throttled gate. On a perfect board it returns nothing rather than inventing work.
