2/5 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

27K views on a app demo post, 27x the account's usual reach. The Outlier score reads reach as a multiple of the account's own median, and that median sits around 981 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 (14.1% 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 A travel translation app. Reach gets a post seen; Pull is the read on whether it landed.

Underneath the two scores sit the actual counts - 1.2K likes, 10 comments, 86 shares, and 550 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 22-second silent video opens directly on a mobile app demonstration framed around traveling in Japan. A prominent text overlay acts as the hook, stating how the tool identifies local food. The clip moves through three distinct visual beats at a steady pace: focusing on a Japanese menu or food item, scanning the text through the mobile interface, and revealing the translated English result on screen. There is no spoken audio. Text overlays remain pinned across key transitions to label each step of the process. The app interface occupies the full frame throughout the entire duration, concluding after the final translated item is displayed.
