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

Running 196x the account's own baseline, this post reached 4.1M views against the 21K 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.

Pure dating app is the product on screen. Where reach gets a post seen, Pull - here 5/5, 20.9% 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 530K likes, 1.2K comments, 64K shares, and 17K 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 post opens on the first slide with a still image paired with an on-screen text overlay framed around a dating or situationship scenario. There is no spoken audio. The post moves across two distinct visual beats, paced through manual swiping between the two static frames. The first slide establishes the situational hook through plain text centered over the background photo. Swiping to the second slide reveals a follow-up image displaying the resolution, where the promoted dating app is introduced visually on screen. Short descriptive hashtags in the caption accompany the visual sequence without any spoken dialogue.
