To produce high-yield videos I would constantly evaluate the audience retention rate within the first 3 seconds of the video. This would reflect whether the hook is attention seeking enough to the viewers which stops them from scrolling. Moreover I would copy and tweak the hooks by just a bit when one of the short videos is a high performer of millions of views. Therefore this can help me reproduce similar virality for the upcoming videos I make.

I think that creating an avatar with AI tools is a mind-blowing game changer as I can interact with a talking avatar while shooting the video. This is more convenient than doing IRL role play and changing clothes to portray different characters during storytelling.

I would rely on the metrics behind each video to evaluate the retention percentage of the first 3 seconds. From this I can know whether my hook for the short videos can retain people's attention.

I would also evaluate the ratio of viewers to likes and saves to measure the engagement rate of each video. I aim to maintain at least 1.5% of likes and saves for each video I produce.
