THE IDEA: an organic install engine is more than a network of creator accounts. What makes it compound is the cycle: every 14 days you post at volume, read the numbers, keep the winners, cut the rest and feed the winners into the next cycle. This guide is the operating system for that cycle: the calendar, the decision rules, the roles and the report.

WHAT IT CAN LOOK LIKE (one client month, April, from our dashboard):

Metric	Number
Posts	2,208
Views	77,389,367
Likes	1,190,385
Comments	14,095
Shares	173,102
Installs, cycle 1 (1-15 April)	610,317
Installs, cycle 2 (16-30 April)	731,462

What that works out to: about 35K views per post, about 17 installs per 1,000 views, and +19.8% installs from cycle 1 to cycle 2 (=(731,462 - 610,317) / 610,317). The top post on each platform that month: Instagram 2.96M views (2.39% engagement), YouTube Shorts 2.79M (4.19%), TikTok 2.13M (3.18%).

Results depend on the app, category, markets and volume. What transfers is the cycle.

WHO IT'S FOR: founders, growth and UA leads at consumer apps who already post short-form content, or are about to, and want installs that keep growing.

THE RULES

Two weeks is one cycle. Long enough for real numbers, short enough to move fast.
Judge against your own median. Every account and format is compared with its own baseline, not someone else's benchmark.
Winners carry forward. Nothing that worked starts from zero next cycle.
Installs decide. Views open the door; installs per 1,000 views decide what scales.
Real data only. Claude works from your numbers; anything missing is marked [NEEDS INPUT].

Paste this at the start of every Claude session:

You are my organic growth operator for a consumer app. We run distribution in 14-day cycles. Work only from the posting, engagement and install data I paste.

Rules:
- Never invent views, installs, rates or benchmarks. If something is missing, write [NEEDS INPUT: what].
- Show every formula next to the result.
- Compare each account and format with its own median for the same cycle.
- End every answer with: scale, keep testing, cut.
