5/5 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

4.9M views on a app demo post, 801x the account's usual reach. The Outlier score reads reach as a multiple of the account's own median, and that median sits around 6.1K 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 (10.0% 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 video generation and editing app. Reach gets a post seen; Pull is the read on whether it landed.

Broken out, the post drew 325K likes, 2.7K comments, 20K shares, and 20K 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 runs about 53 seconds and opens silently with an on-screen text overlay setting up a workplace prank scenario. Without spoken dialogue, the post relies on visual storytelling across three distinct beats. It cuts between in-hand footage of a smartphone running the featured mobile app and live reaction shots of a boss reviewing the displayed results. The pacing is steady, advancing the premise through layered text captions that track the staged situation step by step. The app interface remains visible on screen through the middle and final sections, serving as the central prop for the interaction before cutting to the closing reaction.
