Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 6 original posts 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 93 interactions against 1.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0.007%. Posts are seen about 36K times each, and 0.256% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.79% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.37 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 3% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 6 posts sampled, 33% carry an image or video and 83% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.1K interactions, about 34x its own typical post. Only 6 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 07:00 UTC, and Monday 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.
