What this launch shows

Ghost posted this from an account with 14K followers and reached 356.7 times that many people. The usual multiple for 5K to 25K followers is 50.8.

This one did 7 times that. It ranks 20 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 7.2 times the median of 688K views.

Saves led. 8K people bookmarked it, 16.6 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: 1K replies, 794 quotes, 873 reposts.

The post opens with “Introducing Core, The Personal Al Computer”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 2:24 video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory.

The copy runs 21 words, shorter than 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 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 Consumer AI is on that vertical's directory page.
