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

This silent ugc TikTok post pulled 3M views, about 1431x what the account normally does (a typical post on the same account lands near 2.1K views). Handler flags that gap as an outlier: the reach came off the post itself, not off the size of the account behind it, which is what makes the structure worth studying.

A 5/5 Pull score tracks the actions that matter after a view - save, share, comment - and weighs them above the like count. Weighted out, that is 31.7%. The app in frame is Cold Trace detective mobile game. It is the half of the scoring that says whether viewers did anything, not just whether they watched.

Underneath the two scores sit the actual counts - 305K likes, 994 comments, 50K shares, and 111K saves - the raw engagement Handler reads to place the post in its niche.

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 for about 16 seconds in a silent user-generated format without spoken audio. It opens directly on a screen recording of gameplay within the app interface. The visual hook relies on immediate in-game interaction rather than a spoken prompt. Across three distinct visual beats, the recording tracks rapid navigation through digital clues, simulated investigation files, and mobile menus. The pacing remains steady, showing direct screen interactions every few seconds. Text on screen consists solely of native app elements and in-game text rather than transcribed captions, with the app name ColdTrace referenced directly in the post caption.
