Instagram Outlier Score: Know Exactly How Viral a Post Went
Not all viral posts look the same. OutViral calculates a per-post multiplier against the account's own median — x2 to x100+ — so you have a number, not just a feeling.

FAQ
Why use median instead of average for the outlier score?
The average is pulled up by extreme outliers. Median gives a better sense of 'typical' performance, so scores are more meaningful.
What does a score of x10 mean?
That post got 10× the views that this account typically gets on a post. It's an outlier — something in that content worked unusually well.
