Content Plan Checker
Paste in your current or planned content: platforms, formats, posts per week, topics and goal. The checker scores the plan against your goal, your team and the time you have, shows what to post more of and what to stop, and builds a balanced weekly plan you can follow straight away.

How this tool works
- Built on
- Risalat content planning rules: purpose mix by goal, suggested minimum frequency by platform, hours per format and team capacity.
- Scoring
- Six areas, weighted: fit with goal 25%, time available 20%, balance 15%, platform focus and frequency 15%, video and owned channel 15%, topic focus 10%. Every rule and assumption is shown in the result.
- Limitations
- The rules of thumb are planning aids, not platform statistics. Adjust them to your own analytics after a few weeks.
- Your data
- What you type stays in your browser unless you save it to a free account. We receive your name, email and summary only when you open your results.

Questions
What makes a content plan "balanced"?
It serves one main goal, mixes purposes (educate, prove, engage, promote) in proportions that suit that goal, stays on a few strong topics and fits the time your team really has.
Where do the numbers come from?
They are Risalat's planning rules of thumb, shown in full in the result. They are not platform statistics; replace them with what your own analytics show.
Is my plan sent anywhere?
No. The plan stays in your browser unless you save it to a free account.
