2/5 reach magnitude vs the account's own baseline.

Pull score
2/5

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

Why this qualified

An outlier is a post that beats the account's own baseline, and this app demo one did by 11x - 38K views where a normal post on the account lands near 3.4K. Reach on that scale is a signal about the post, not the audience size, which is exactly why Handler pulls it into the library instead of letting it scroll past.

The product behind the post is An AI image generation app. Pull came in at 2/5, 2.9% on the weighted scale - Handler's read on saves, shares, and comments, with saves and shares counted heaviest because they are the actions that carry a post into new feeds rather than just marking approval.

Broken out, the post drew 829 likes, 17 comments, 21 shares, and 31 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 58-second silent video opens directly on a phone screen displaying an application interface. The video moves through multiple distinct scenes at a measured pace, cutting between close-up shots of the app in use and physical reactions captured on camera. Text overlays appear briefly across the top of the frame to label the prank premise, while the rest of the clip relies entirely on visual demonstration without spoken dialogue. The app interface remains on screen across several beats, showing the user navigating its menus and triggering specific visual effects before the clip ends on the final reaction shot.
