What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 445K followers. It was seen 4.6 times over. For over 100K followers the median reach is 2.4 times the following.

This launch beat that by 1.9 times. It ranks 243 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 3 times the median of 688K views.

Saves led. 3K people bookmarked it, 12.6 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 11.7. A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does.

The rest: 306 replies, 252 quotes, 276 reposts. One bookmark for every 0.9 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.

It starts “EXCITED TO LAUNCH: Akai (”. It carries a 3:18 video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory. The copy runs 40 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41.

There is a link in the body, which costs a post some reach and buys it a place to send people. It went out on a Monday. Launches posted on a Monday have a median of 618K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

X analytics explained covers this: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. Every launch we track in Enterprise AI is on that vertical's directory page.
