Tool Gate · How it works
How the Link-in-Bio Funnel Grader gate works
How the Link-in-Bio Funnel Grader scores a link-in-bio page across six factors: a focus gate caps the page at TIGHTEN when it has no single primary action — which is how a page that scores 76 still can't go live as-is, because it's a directory, not a funnel.
How the gate works
This tool grades a link-in-bio page — the router between your profile and your offer. Each control is marked from your own evidence and weighted into a 0–100 score — and then the score is run past a gate that can only make the verdict worse.
The 6 weighted controls
| Signal | Weight |
|---|---|
| Destination focus | 24 |
| Promise continuity | 22 |
| Above-fold decisiveness | 18 |
| Mobile load & fit | 16 |
| Proof at decision | 12 |
| Tracking present | 8 |
| Total | 100 |
The verdict bands
A page with no single primary action — destination focus scored 0 — is a directory, not a router, so the focus gate caps the verdict at TIGHTEN regardless of the score. It can only lower the verdict, never raise it; a high weighted total cannot buy its way past a missing primary action.
In the worked sample it scores 76 out of 100 and still reads TIGHTEN — Every lever but one is maxed — promise continuity, above-fold decisiveness, mobile fit, proof and tracking all score full, for a weighted total of 76 that would read GO LIVE. But destination focus scored 0: the page is a menu of equal links with no obvious next step. The focus gate caps a router with no primary action at TIGHTEN, so a passing total lands one band lower. The one thing to fix first: Destination focus scored 0 — the page offers a menu of equal links, not one obvious next step. Cut to a single primary action and make everything else visibly secondary; that alone releases the focus gate and the total is already there..
Common questions
Can something score well on the How the Link-in-Bio Funnel Grader gate works and still fail?
Yes. The weighted score is run past a worsen-only gate — the Focus gate — that can only make the verdict worse. In the worked sample it scores 76 out of 100 and still reads TIGHTEN, because every lever but one is maxed — promise continuity, above-fold decisiveness, mobile fit, proof and tracking all score full, for a weighted total of 76 that would read GO LIVE. But destination focus scored 0: the page is a menu of equal links with no obvious next step. The focus gate caps a router with no primary action at TIGHTEN, so a passing total lands one band lower.
What is a worsen-only gate?
A dispositive rule that can only lower a verdict, never raise it. One fatal flaw overrides an otherwise-good score, because a single disqualifying gap shouldn't hide behind a high average. The tool also names the one thing to fix first — here, "Destination focus scored 0 — the page offers a menu of equal links, not one obvious next step. Cut to a single primary action and make everything else visibly secondary; that alone releases the focus gate and the total is already there.".
