Keyword Opportunity Score
A keyword opportunity score ranks which keywords are worth acting on first, typically weighing search volume, ranking difficulty, and how close a page already is to ranking well.
It's meant to answer a prioritization question — out of everything a site already ranks or could rank for, what's actually worth the effort right now — rather than just listing keywords with no sense of which matter most.
A keyword already sitting just outside the top results is often a higher-opportunity target than a much higher-volume keyword starting from nothing, since it usually takes less to move it.
