Stop guessing why your videos flop. Micro analyzes your TikToks, Reels, and Shorts BEFORE you post and shows you exactly what's holding them back — your hook, pacing, payoff, and retention — then tells you how to fix it. Drop a video into the portal and Micro reads it the way the algorithm actually does: PREDICTED REACH An honest view range based on how short-form distribution really works: watch-time and completion dominate, shares carry reach, a weak hook caps everything. Grounded in your own baseline — never a fake number. RETENTION CURVE See exactly where viewers drop off, second by second, so you know which moment is losing them. SMART INSIGHTS A virality score for the clip, plus a suggested caption and hashtags tuned to what's actually on screen. FIXES IN ORDER Concrete, timecoded changes ranked by impact — so you know what to change first, not just that something's wrong. RE-CHECK Fix it, run it again, and watch your score climb. Honest by design: Micro never fakes view counts. Every projection is a range, grounded in your own numbers. Test your videos before you post. Reach more viewers.
