The number on each cover is the post’s engagement over its own account’s median, from the runs we collected from 24 to 28 September 2026. We show the cover and name the account; we do not link out. 103 more posts were read this way and are counted above.
Director Lite runs the same method on your own assistant. It reads the web as text, so it cannot see covers.
