Top category by total likes: Company Culture (98 avg) — driven by milestone and team stories with a human angle. But the velocity view reshuffles things: Platform & Product jumps to #1 at 9.6 avg likes/day, driven almost entirely by the FDE+ repost (16.5 l/d, posted 2 days prior to this analysis). Culture drops to #3 on velocity because its anchor post — the Dominican Republic retreat at 218 likes — was already 20 days old. The story on velocity is that new product content travels faster; the story on raw likes is that culture posts accumulate more total engagement.

Velocity surprises: The biggest mover is the "AI-native AOR beats traditional" post (+9 rank jump) — only 22 likes but posted the same day as this analysis, with a 22.0 l/d velocity at #1. Early signal, not confirmed hit, but the bold positioning claim was resonating faster than most of his content out of the gate. The FDE+ article repost (+5) also outperforms its raw rank — 33 likes in 2 days at 16.5 l/d is legitimate early traction. Going the other way: the "97% use AI daily" post drops 7 spots in velocity view — 132 likes but fully decelerated at 40 days old.

Engagement patterns: Culture posts with concrete milestones (retreat, employee anniversaries) consistently hit 50+ likes. Platform announcements (FDE+, Supreme Intelligence launch) outperform when they lead with a clear new capability rather than a pitch. Short combative AI-native takes posted in high frequency on the same day dilute each other — four were posted on the same day, three landed at 6 likes each.

Takeaway: His highest-leverage pattern is culture + company story tied to a specific milestone. More of those, fewer rapid-fire positioning takes in the same session. On the product side, FDE+ is the strongest recent signal — a follow-up post with a specific client use case would likely outperform the announcement itself.
