Pull score
2/5

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

Why this qualified

Running 1439x the account's own baseline, this post reached 4.6M views against the 3.2K 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.

A music-based friend discovery app is the product on screen. Where reach gets a post seen, Pull - here 2/5, 2.4% 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 94K likes, 87 comments, 836 shares, and 3.1K 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 opens as a silent UGC clip running about nine seconds. Without spoken audio, the post relies on on-screen visual motion and overlay text to progress. The video cuts across two to three short visual beats showing a mobile screen or direct user interaction. A text overlay delivers the opening hook line directly in the center of the frame, setting up the music taste discovery topic referenced in the caption tags. Pacing moves quickly across the brief runtime, transitioning from the initial text prompt to a direct demonstration of the mobile interface. The featured app interface remains on display through the final seconds.
