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

206K views on a app demo post, 38x the account's usual reach. The Outlier score reads reach as a multiple of the account's own median, and that median sits around 5.4K views, which is why the multiple matters more than the raw view count - it isolates the posts that outran their own channel instead of the ones riding a big following.

Its Pull score of 5/5 (10.2% weighted) measures how hard it moved viewers to save, share, and comment - the actions weighted heaviest because they signal real intent rather than a passing tap. The product it puts forward is An AI photo generation app. Reach gets a post seen; Pull is the read on whether it landed.

The counts behind those scores: 14K likes, 40 comments, 1.3K shares, and 486 saves. Saves and shares are weighted heaviest because they are the actions that carry a post into more feeds.

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 with silent footage establishing a scene around a fish pond, accompanied by an on-screen text hook referencing the situation. Running about 47 seconds, the clip progresses through four distinct visual beats at a deliberate, moderate pace. It transitions from live-action video of the father tending to his fish to direct on-screen screen recordings of the app interface. Text overlays remain visible throughout the center and lower thirds to frame the action in the absence of spoken audio. The app demo occupies the mid-to-late sections of the post, displaying functional screens, UI taps, and menu flows before returning to the closing scene.
