What this launch shows

Figure posted this from an account with 226K followers and reached 2.5 times that many people. Accounts of that size usually reach 2.4 times their following, so this is in the normal range.

It ranks 484 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1103 of 1981.

Reposts led, 359 at 6.3 per 10,000 views against a median of 2.5. A repost is an endorsement without a comment, and a launch with an unusual repost rate was being passed along on purpose.

Bookmarks: 883. Replies: 200. One bookmark for every 4.2 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.

The post opens with “Introducing Index”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 37-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 603K views in the directory.

The copy runs 34 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 Tuesday. Launches posted on a Tuesday have a median of 651K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

Stealth mode startups covers this: a first public post carries years of work, and that story is the asset. For the next one, read giving people something to reply to: the conversation is what carried this one.

X analytics explained is the guide for it: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. Every launch we track in Robotics is on that vertical's directory page.
