Pull score
5/5

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

Why this qualified

7.5M views on a app demo post, 276x the account's usual reach. The Outlier score reads reach as a multiple of the account's own median, and that median sits around 27K views, which is why the multiple matters more than the raw view count - it isolates the posts that outran their own channel instead of the ones riding a big following.

Its Pull score of 5/5 (8.0% weighted) measures how hard it moved viewers to save, share, and comment - the actions weighted heaviest because they signal real intent rather than a passing tap. The product it puts forward is Zest, a recipe organizer app. Reach gets a post seen; Pull is the read on whether it landed.

By the raw numbers the post logged 207K likes, 660 comments, 60K shares, and 39K saves - the metrics Handler weighs into its Pull read, and the same figures you see in the panel above.

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 17 seconds, opening on a cooking demonstration paired with an upfront hook line featuring the spoken reaction, "What? This is crazy." The post moves through three distinct visual beats at a brisk pace, alternating between physical food preparation footage and direct screen recordings of the cooking app interface. On-screen text overlays reinforce the spoken transcript, displaying bold caption phrasing across the top of the frame. The app UI appears in the middle beat, showing interactive recipe steps and features before cutting back to the finished culinary result in the closing moments.
