The marketing calendar survived; the headline analyser did not.

The backstory
CoSchedule's famous headline analyser and its marketing calendar were two separate products bolted together. The analyser is now trivially replaced — ask any model to score and rewrite a headline against a target emotion and it will do a better job than a 2015-era scoring heuristic. The shared editorial calendar is genuinely sticky for content teams, which is what keeps this at wounded.
