How it compares
A launch means nothing against no one. These are the launches it is actually comparable to, and where this one sits among them.
| Compared with | Launches | Median views | This one | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Product news the same kind of announcement | 769 | 805K | 0.1x | 633 |
| over 100K followers accounts of a similar size | 611 | 1.4M | 0.1x | 577 |
| Every launch all of them, for scale | 1981 | 688K | 0.1x | 1641 |
What this launch shows
The post went out from an account with 1.6M followers and was seen by fewer people than follow the account. Accounts of that size usually reach 2.4 times their following.
This one did not get far past the people who already followed it. It ranks 577 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1641 of 1981.
Saves led. 352 people bookmarked it, 48.4 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: 57 replies, 10 quotes, 36 reposts. One bookmark for every 1.2 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
The post opens with “Foaster (@Foaster_ai) is building AI agents to replace consulting firms”. It carries a 1:13 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 38 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41.
The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it. It went out on a Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 724K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
Attributing signups to a launch covers this: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. For the next one, read giving people something to reply to: the conversation is what carried this one.
Why posts from large accounts under-reach is the guide for it: a post seen by fewer people than follow the account was held back by the ranking model.
