Early reading. We have captured 1 original post for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.

A typical post picks up 375 interactions against 89K followers, an engagement rate of 0.419%. Posts are seen about 142K times each, and 0.264% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 158.8% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.53 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 1 posts sampled, 100% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 29K interactions, about 77x its own typical post. Only 1 original post have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,350 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,576 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.
