The first line is “Introducing Microsoft-Decision-1, our new model for fast decision-making”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 10-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 850K views in the directory.
The copy runs 38 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 Friday. Launches posted on a Friday have a median of 880K views in the directory, which makes it the strongest day.
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. Every launch we track in Frontier Lab is on that vertical's directory page.
