3/5 reach magnitude vs the account's own baseline.

Pull score
5/5

How hard it moved viewers to save, share, and comment.

Why this qualified

Running 47x the account's own baseline, this post reached 256K views against the 5.4K a normal post there sees. That is the whole test for an outlier in Handler - reach measured against the account's own median rather than against other accounts, so a small account with a genuine breakout still qualifies while a big account coasting on its size does not.

An AI photo generation and editing app is the product on screen. Where reach gets a post seen, Pull - here 5/5, 22.8% weighted - is what says viewers acted on it, since saves and shares weigh in hardest and a save is the clearest sign a viewer means to come back.

Broken out, the post drew 35K likes, 64 comments, 4K shares, and 1.8K saves. Those are the numbers the Outlier and Pull scores are built from, nothing modelled or projected.

The full breakdown - why the hook works, the comment-intent read, and the ready-to-shoot dupe kit - lives inside Handler.

Anatomy

The video opens directly on footage of a father tending to a koi fish pond, guided by the contextual caption. Across roughly 70 seconds, the clip cuts through several distinct scenes showing the fish, pond maintenance, and close-up care routines without spoken audio. The pacing moves at an even, observational tempo driven purely by visual action. During the middle beats, the footage transitions into an app demonstration, displaying the mobile interface and its fish-related features on screen. Text overlays briefly outline interface navigation before the video cuts back to live pond footage to complete the walkthrough.
