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

Running 45x the account's own baseline, this post reached 1.1M views against the 24K 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.

Zest, a recipe-saving and cooking app is the product on screen. Where reach gets a post seen, Pull - here 5/5, 7.3% 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 7.5K likes, 197 comments, 16K shares, and 2.4K 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 on an immediate reaction hook featuring the spoken exclamation 'What?!' across the first frame. Lasting about 18 seconds, the clip moves through two distinct beats with brisk pacing. It shifts straight from the opening reaction into a direct screen capture demonstration of the cooking application in use. The screen displays the app interface navigating through recipe features and preparation steps. Minimal text overlays accompany the on-screen taps and scrolling, keeping visual focus squarely on the demonstrated feature before cutting out cleanly at the end.
