The post-stream review is the 10-minute discipline after every broadcast that catches issues you can fix before the next stream. The review checks audio levels (any clipping or buried portions), microphone feedback (any audible echo or noise that filters missed), dropped frames (any portion of the stream where frame drops occurred), and overall quality.

The procedure: open the platform's VOD of the stream you just finished. Skip through it in 10-minute increments. Listen to the audio for any issues. Check the dropped-frame counter or platform's quality indicator if available. Note any specific moments where the stream did something unexpected.

The output: a short list of issues to fix before the next stream. The list might say "audio peaked too high during minute 47, lower the compressor threshold" or "dropped frames in last 30 minutes, check whether the cloud sync started during stream." Each note becomes a small adjustment.

The compounding effect: the streamer running the post-stream review converges on a clean broadcast within 4 to 8 streams. The streamer who skips the review is still fixing rookie issues at stream 50.
