Engagement
A typical post picks up 74 interactions against 370K followers, an engagement rate of 0.02%. Measured over 23 original posts, its engagement rate beats 28% of 3,848 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 9.0K times each, and 0.823% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.43% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.83 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 23 posts sampled, 39% carry an image or video and 91% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 425 interactions, about 5.7x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Stanford Medicine's engagement rate beats 28% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,848 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 6 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 38% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 19:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 74 interactions against 370K followers, an engagement rate of 0.02%. Measured over 23 original posts, its engagement rate beats 28% of 3,848 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 9.0K times each, and 0.823% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

- What is Stanford Medicine's engagement rate on X?
- Stanford Medicine (@StanfordMed) has an engagement rate of 0.02%, based on the median interactions across 23 original posts from the last 30 days against 370,225 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.02%, Stanford Medicine sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,320 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @StanfordMed have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 28% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,848 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @StanfordMed post?
- Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.83 posts per day across the measured window.
