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

Handler logged this app demo post at 1.4M views, a jump of 290x over the account's median. The Outlier score is exactly that jump, and with 4.8K 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 (31.9% weighted). It promotes Pikmin Bloom. 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.

Broken out, the post drew 286K likes, 1.2K comments, 21K shares, and 19K 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 runs for about 23 seconds and opens directly inside the Pikmin Bloom mobile game interface. An on-screen text caption introduces the scenario, stating the creator expected their Pikmin expedition to take a day or two to return. The camera remains fixed on the in-game expedition screen across two main visual beats, showing a walking Pikmin character alongside a calculated travel timer. Pacing is slow and continuous, synced to singing audio about a long journey. The app interface fills the entire screen throughout, displaying map coordinates, a countdown timer measuring weeks of travel, and character status prompts.
