    What is the RooziTV Safety Score?

    A complete guide to how we rate every video for safety, what the numbers mean, and why it matters for your family.

    TL;DR — The Quick Version

    The RooziTV Safety Score is a 0–100 rating applied to every video before it enters our library. Videos must score 85 or higher to be approved. The score combines AI analysis and human review across eight factors: language, violence, adult themes, pacing, ads, data privacy, channel trust, and educational value. Videos that exceed specific risk thresholds are automatically rejected—even if their overall score would pass. Every video is reviewed by a human curator before approval. No algorithm decides what your child watches.

    How the Safety Score Works

    The Safety Score is RooziTV's content rating system. Before any video appears in our library, it goes through a two-stage review process: automated AI analysis followed by human verification. The result is a score from 0 to 100, where higher numbers mean safer content.

    To be approved, a video must score 85 or higher. But that's not the only requirement. We also enforce hard limits on specific risk categories. A video with excellent scores in most areas can still be rejected if it crosses a threshold in any single high-risk category.

    This dual-gate system—overall score plus individual thresholds—ensures that no harmful content slips through just because it "averaged out" to a passing grade.

    The Eight Scoring Factors

    Language & Profanity

    25%

    Screens for inappropriate language, insults, name-calling, and profanity. Even mild language is flagged for review.

    Violence & Scary Content

    20%

    Identifies physical conflict, threatening situations, horror elements, or imagery that could frighten young children.

    Adult Themes

    15%

    Detects mature topics, romantic content, substance references, or themes beyond a child's developmental stage.

    Overstimulation & Pacing

    15%

    Measures rapid cuts, flashing visuals, and audio intensity. Rewards calm, focused content appropriate for developing minds.

    Ads & Commercial Pressure

    10%

    Identifies in-video sponsorships, product placements, and 'buy this' messaging that pressures children.

    Data Privacy Risk

    5%

    Flags content that encourages children to share personal information or visit external websites.

    Channel Trust

    5%

    Reflects the creator's track record on RooziTV. Consistent, safe content builds trust over time.

    Educational Value

    5%

    Bonus points for content that teaches concepts, vocabulary, problem-solving, or positive social skills.

    What Passes vs. What Fails

    Videos That Pass

    • Educational content with calm pacing and age-appropriate vocabulary
    • Animated stories with gentle conflict resolution and positive messages
    • Music and movement videos with developmentally appropriate pacing
    • Craft tutorials with clear instructions and no commercial pressure
    • Nature documentaries edited for younger audiences

    Videos That Fail

    • Videos with even mild insults, name-calling, or mean-spirited humor
    • Content with rapid cuts, flashing effects, or overstimulating pacing
    • Videos featuring jump scares, monsters, or threatening imagery
    • Content with heavy product placement or "buy this toy" messaging
    • Videos encouraging kids to visit websites or share personal info

    Automatic Rejection Thresholds

    Even if a video's overall score would pass, it's automatically rejected if any of these limits are exceeded:

    > 25
    Adult Content
    > 40
    Violence/Scary
    > 35
    Profanity
    > 65
    Data/COPPA Risk

    How Human Review Works

    1

    AI Analysis

    Our AI watches the video, analyzes the audio transcript, and scores it across all eight factors. It flags specific timestamps where potential issues were detected.

    2

    Curator Review

    A trained human curator reviews the AI findings. They watch flagged segments, verify scores, and check for context the AI might have missed (like sarcasm or cultural references).

    3

    Final Decision

    The curator makes the final call: approve, reject, or flag for second opinion. Approved videos enter the library with their Safety Score. Rejected videos are logged with reasons.

    4

    Ongoing Monitoring

    Parent feedback, flags, and periodic re-reviews ensure quality over time. If a video's content changes or concerns arise, we re-evaluate immediately.

    Parent Questions About Safety Scoring

    Glossary of Terms

    Safety Score
    A 0–100 rating assigned to every video measuring overall content safety. Videos need 85+ to be approved.
    Age Band
    Developmental groupings (2–4, 4–6, 6–8, 8–10) that indicate which age range a video is best suited for.
    Channel Trust
