Pull score
5/5

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

Why this qualified

Handler logged this app demo post at 2.9M views, a jump of 110x over the account's median. The Outlier score is exactly that jump, and with 26K 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 (15.5% weighted). It promotes Zest (a recipe manager and importing 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.

Underneath the two scores sit the actual counts - 137K likes, 324 comments, 37K shares, and 41K 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 opens with a direct screen recording of a recipe app interface, establishing the product immediately on screen without spoken audio. A high-contrast text overlay sits near the top of the frame, presenting a brief question-style hook in bold letters. Across approximately eighteen seconds, the video moves through three distinct visual beats at a steady, moderate pace. The on-screen pointer taps through different navigation tabs, selects an ingredient list, and reveals an automated recipe conversion feature. Text overlays update synchronously with each touchpoint to highlight key interface actions, while the caption at the bottom provides short reaction text alongside topical baking tags.
