“Channels with narrow topical focus outgrow broad-topic channels.”

What the check does
Across the shared pool — but "narrow focus" has to be measured across a channel's OWN videos, which needs per-video topic signal (titles are the usual stand-in). The shared data carries one category per channel and no per-video text, and a single label cannot describe variation inside the channel it labels: two channels in one category may be a specialist and a generalist. Grading by category and calling it focus would be an invented measurement. The test names the field it needs; no number of extra channels supplies it.
The reading
Not testable on this channel right now — per-video topic signal (video titles); the shared data carries one category per channel, which cannot describe how varied that channel's own videos are.
