How CreatorSift Calculates Outlier Videos
A simple, mathematically rigorous metric to find true content winners.
Establish Channel Median
We calculate the median view count for recent uploads in a channel's cohort to define a true performance baseline.
Compute Outlier Ratio
Each video's view count is divided by the median baseline. A score of 2.5x means the video performed 250% better than normal.
Extract Winning Patterns
Filter for 1.5x+ outlier videos to study what titles, thumbnail hooks, durations, and topics repeatedly trigger algorithm velocity.
