How Handler scores an outlier

Outlier score: We set a post's views against the median views of its own account's recent posts, leaving out that account's single biggest hit so one old outlier cannot raise the bar. The further a post runs past its own median, the higher the score - so a small account's breakout ranks next to a big account's, and follower count never decides it.
Pull: Views say a post was seen. Pull says people acted on it. Shares and saves count most, comments next and likes least, all measured against views. A post needs at least 10,000 views and a Pull of 0.5% to enter the library at all.
What you see on a card: Bolts show how big the outlier is, stars show how strong the Pull is. Both come from the post's own public numbers, read when it was scored.

Want to dupe these outliers for your own app?

Handler doesn't just list the winners - it rebuilds them as your own. Your brand's AI creator, your product in every shot, the regeneration prompt and brand overlay done for you.
