FORKOFF · Launch intelligence
Launch Radar tracks new product launches across AI, SaaS, fintech, and crypto, and ranks their launch videos by real view count and velocity. Every launch is shown with its public engagement metrics and posting-time data, the same public inputs the RADAR methodology reads to tell earned reach from bought distribution. Paying for distribution is legal and common; RADAR measures how reach was built, not whether anyone was honest.
Launch video intelligence is the practice of reading how a product launch video built its reach, earned through genuine engagement or bought through paid distribution, from public signals. RADAR applies it to real AI, SaaS, fintech, and crypto launches, ranking each launch video by views and its views-to-likes ratio against the roughly 500 organic ceiling. The trending launch videos below are the highest-reach launches RADAR tracks, each linked to its full reading.
FORKOFF Research · Launch Authenticity Report 2026
A first-party forensic study of 30 high-profile product launches. 25 of 30 carried a paid or amplified reach signature; only 5 read as genuinely organic. Reported at the aggregate level, from a human-labeled corpus and 48,849 velocity snapshots. It names no company and carries no per-launch verdict.

The RADAR Authenticity Grade
RADAR reads how a launch built its reach and expresses it as an Authenticity Grade: a letter band plus a confidence band plus the date it was last monitored, backed by a published method. We publish the organic reads, grade A (verified organic) and B (largely organic), on the leaderboard and the strip below. A grade is an independent, methodology-derived signal of how reach was built, never a statement of fact about any person.
Independent, methodology-derived signal, not a statement of fact about any person. RADAR reads how reach was built, a signature, not an accusation. See the methodology.
The bragging surface
Launches RADAR reads as organic: reach and engagement that grew together. Each carries its Authenticity Grade badge and links to the full reading. See the full verified-organic leaderboard.

Independent, methodology-derived signal, not a statement of fact about any person. RADAR reads how reach was built, a signature, not an accusation. See the methodology.
Ranked by real reach
The tracked launch videos ranked by reach. The bar is proportional to views; the verified-organic launches carry the bone accent, every other row stays neutral. Each row links to that launch's full reading.
The three signals
Views-to-likes ratio
Organic reach tops out near 500 views per like. When views climb far past that without the likes to match, the extra reach is arriving without the engagement organic reach produces.
Amplification wave shape
Organic amplification spreads over hours and days. A coordinated launch fires a synchronized burst of quote-tweets in the first few hours, derived from each post's tweet-id timestamp.
Posting-time fingerprint
A post that fires exactly top-of-hour on a weekday is scheduled. On its own it is weak, but it corroborates a coordinated launch alongside the other two signals.
The full method, the calibration bands, the confidence labels, and the reproduce-it-yourself steps are on the RADAR methodology page. For the benchmark behind the first signal, what a healthy views-to-likes ratio actually is across 23 real launches, see the Views-to-Likes Benchmark 2026.
The full corpus
Public launch videos, ordered by views. Each card shows the launch video keyframe, its Authenticity Grade badge, and its public metrics, and links to that launch's full RADAR reading, where the video plays inline.

Metrics are point-in-time and trace to a public pull. RADAR re-checks launches over time, because bot purges and late engagement shift the numbers.
Common questions about launch authenticity
The plain-English answers behind every RADAR reading, each grounded in the same published method.
RADAR grows out of running managed distribution and influencer marketing at the scale where the difference between earned and bought reach stops being a guess and becomes a measured signal. Read the method, or talk to a strategist.
