What this launch shows

From an account with 849K followers, this reached 1.2 times the account's own following. The median for over 100K followers is 2.4 times, so this one stayed closer to home than most.

It ranks 355 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 1.5 times the median of 688K views.

Likes led, 4K at 40.9 per 10,000 views against a median of 26.8, with the heavier signals closer to usual: 2K bookmarks, 213 replies, 168 quotes. A like is a reaction. The post was enjoyed more than it was kept.

The first line is “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 51 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 X analytics explained: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. Every launch we track in Robotics is on that vertical's directory page.
