Pull score
5/5

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

Why this qualified

180K views on a silent ugc post, 133x the account's usual reach. The Outlier score reads reach as a multiple of the account's own median, and that median sits around 1.4K 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 (21.7% 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 A book tracking and discovery app. Reach gets a post seen; Pull is the read on whether it landed.

By the raw numbers the post logged 31K likes, 142 comments, 325 shares, and 1.6K saves - the metrics Handler weighs into its Pull read, and the same figures you see in the panel above.

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

Anatomy

The post opens immediately on a silent screen recording of the mobile app interface without spoken audio. Running for about six seconds, the video moves through a single continuous beat at a brisk pace. The screen displays media recommendations and profile curation based on books, movies, and music. Large text overlays remain absent from the footage itself, leaving the app UI to fill the entire frame. The product appears continuously from the first frame to the final cut, showing interactive catalog screens and taste profiles before concluding, while the caption names the application and prompts viewers to test it.
