Open a tutorial with the end result on screen, or point at it, before returning to the first step. It worked for 8 accounts, with a median of 11x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Voiceover, Video, Talking head.

## Why it works

Viewers see the payoff immediately and commit to following the steps. It works for visual customizations and for security automations alike.

## How to make it

1. Flash the finished screen or payoff in the first 1-5 seconds
2. Say what it is in one line
3. Cut back to the start and walk through each tap

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
