Pull score
5/5

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

Why this qualified

Running 649x the account's own baseline, this post reached 18M views against the 27K 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 is the product on screen. Where reach gets a post seen, Pull - here 5/5, 22.8% 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.

The counts behind those scores: 1.2M likes, 1.8K comments, 414K shares, and 300K saves. Saves and shares are weighted heaviest because they are the actions that carry a post into more feeds.

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 directly on an app interface accompanied by a short, single-word spoken hook, "What?". Lasting about 19 seconds, the presentation moves through roughly three distinct operational beats that show off a recipe workflow. The pacing is rapid and continuous, stepping through screen views of the product with straight cuts and minimal downtime. Text overlays appear on screen to highlight key cooking features while the user navigates the tools. The cooking app is displayed on screen from the opening frame through the conclusion, keeping the software layout and its core functionality as the sole subject.
