3/5 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

Handler logged this app demo post at 787K views, a jump of 46x over the account's median. The Outlier score is exactly that jump, and with 17K views being ordinary for this account the breakout stands well clear of its own baseline. That is the bar every post in this library has cleared.

Saves and shares carry the most weight in a Pull score, and this post's landed at 5/5 (20.7% weighted). It promotes Muzz dating app. Pull is the intent side of the two scores - a post can rack up views and still convert nothing, so Handler tracks reach and Pull as separate reads.

The counts behind those scores: 70K likes, 618 comments, 19K shares, and 4K saves. Saves and shares are weighted heaviest because they are the actions that carry a post into more feeds.

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

Anatomy

The 47-second silent video opens directly on a mobile screen recording framed with text overlays describing a specific persona. The footage progresses across several sequential beats, showing navigation through the dating app interface. The pacing remains steady as the user taps through profile creation screens, photo selections, interest tags, and discovery filters. Without any spoken dialogue, brief text overlays appear at key intervals to highlight specific profile choices and prompt answers. The application remains visible throughout the entire runtime, with the mobile user interface filling the frame from start to finish.
