The Algorithm Engine: ByteDance Patent Research for Viral TikTok Growth

$99

Connor Gallic

You're doing too much.

You're learning transitions. Adding B-roll. Watching editing tutorials. Spending hours on a 15-second video.

Meanwhile, I post a static 5-second video—literally just my forehead with text overlay—and get 297,500 views.

Another one: 217,500 views. Same format.

Another: 56,400 views.

Another: 30,900 views.

Why?

Because TikTok's algorithm doesn't reward production quality.

It rewards specific viewer behaviors.

And the simplest content often triggers the highest-value behaviors.

Here's my TikTok profile:

https://www.tiktok.com/@connorgallic

Every single one of these videos:

5 seconds long
Single static frame
Text overlay
Zero editing
Zero transitions
Zero effects

Same system. Repeatable results.

Video 1: "this feels illegal but... corporate work hack" 📊 297,500 views

Video 2: "i asked chatgpt how to quit cigarettes..." 📊 217,500 views

Video 3: ChatGPT workbook promotion 📊 56,400 views

Video 4: Caffeine detox guide 📊 30,900 views

This isn't luck. It's engineering.

SECTION 3: WHY SIMPLE BEATS COMPLEX

Here's what TikTok's algorithm actually measures (from ByteDance Patent US11936954B2):

Weighted Signal Hierarchy:

Rewatches: 5 points (highest weight)
Completion: 4 points
Shares: 3 points
Likes: 2 points
Comments: 1 point

When your video is 5 seconds with high-density information:

Viewers watch the entire thing → Completion = 4 points
They rewatch to read all the text → Rewatch = 5 points
Short duration = multiple replays before scrolling → More rewatch points

Total: 9 points from a single viewer in 10-15 seconds.

A 30-second video with fancy editing?

They scroll at 3 seconds. Zero points.

The algorithm doesn't see your effort. It sees their behavior.

SECTION 4: WHAT EVERYONE ELSE TEACHES (VS. REALITY)

What every TikTok guru says:

❌ "Use trending sounds" ❌ "Post 3 times per day" ❌ "Add dynamic captions and effects" ❌ "Hook in the first 0.3 seconds" ❌ "Learn CapCut transitions"

What actually works:

✅ Engineer for TikTok's weighted signal hierarchy (documented in ByteDance patents) ✅ Create short-duration content that guarantees completion (5-7 seconds) ✅ Use text-density that forces rewatches (information they need to read twice) ✅ Front-load value in first 2 seconds (immediate pattern interrupt) ✅ Structure for Zeigarnik Effect (unfinished business = cognitive itch)

The difference: They're guessing based on what worked for them. I'm engineering based on ByteDance's infrastructure documentation.

SECTION 5: THE UNIQUE MECHANISM

This is the only TikTok system built from ByteDance's actual patents.

I didn't reverse-engineer my own wins. I reverse-engineered the algorithm.

Patent US20230229672A1 → Documents TikTok's Partitioned Data Bucket system (the staged testing that determines if your video gets 500 views or 500,000)

Patent CN110519621B → Reveals the Sibling Recall Chain (how tapping a preview pre-fetches similar videos, and how to control that similarity cluster)

Patent US11936954B2 → Describes weighted signal ranking (the exact point system above)

These aren't blog posts. These are legal filings.

113KB of technical documentation that no one reads.

I read all of it.

Then I tested it.

297,500 views on the first video that applied the framework.

SECTION 6: WHAT YOU GET

The Algorithm Engine — Complete System

This isn't a "10 TikTok tips" guide.

This is 47 hours of ByteDance patent research distilled into a plug-and-play system that requires zero editing skills.

📖 SECTION 1: Complete Algorithm Breakdown (30 pages)

What you'll learn:

How TikTok's HILT (Hierarchical Interest Label Tree) classifier tags your content in the first 60 seconds
The Partitioned Data Bucket system—staged testing mechanics
Monolith ranking weights—the exact point values for each viewer behavior
Why the algorithm prioritizes certain signals over others
How to engineer content for maximum algorithmic points

Format: PDF + Notion

🎬 SECTION 2: 6 Static Video Templates (Frame-by-Frame Breakdown)

Each template includes:

Exact text positioning and formatting
Psychological trigger sequence
Timing breakdowns (what happens at 0-2s, 2-4s, 4-5s)
Niche customization guide

Templates:

"This Feels Illegal" (my 297K-view video, deconstructed)
The Pattern Interrupt (for educational content)
The Curiosity Gap (for product promotions)
The Social Proof Stack (for building authority)
The Self-Deprecating Hook (for relatability)
The Contrast Play (for before/after niches)

You don't need editing software. Canva works. TikTok's built-in text tool works.

⚙️ SECTION 3: 9 Algorithmic Exploits

Specific tactics that target documented mechanisms in ByteDance's infrastructure:

The Rewatch Trigger (text density optimization for forced second views)
Front-Value Loading (what to show in the first 2 seconds)
Completion Engineering (optimal video length by niche)
Zeigarnik Text Structure (creating cognitive itch through unfinished patterns)
Sound Graph Gaming (choosing sounds the algorithm already knows convert)
Pattern Interrupt Sequencing (visual breaks that halt scrolling)
Save-Rate Optimization (making content "reference-worthy")
Share-Trigger Design (engineering shareability into text structure)
The HILT Classifier Hack (keyword placement for accurate categorization)

Each exploit includes:

How it works (the patent mechanism)
How to implement it (step-by-step)
Decay window (long-term structural vs. short-term tactical)

🤖 SECTION 4: Copy-Paste AI System Prompt

Feed this into Claude or ChatGPT. It generates:

Viral content structures on demand
Customized for your niche
Text overlay formatting
Psychological trigger sequences
Hook variations

No more staring at a blank screen.

Input your topic → Get algorithm-optimized content structure in 30 seconds.

✅ SECTION 5: Pre/Post Production Checklists

Printable PDF checklists:

Pre-Production:

[ ] HILT keyword research
[ ] Sound selection (pre-vetted high-conversion sounds)
[ ] Text structure review
[ ] Pattern interrupt check
[ ] Duration optimization

Post-Production:

[ ] Completion rate prediction
[ ] Rewatch trigger verification
[ ] Text density assessment
[ ] Upload timing strategy
[ ] Metrics tracking setup

Ensure every video is algorithm-compliant before you post.

🧠 SECTION 6: The Psychology Principles

Why these tactics work on human attention:

Zeigarnik Effect (unfinished business creates cognitive itch)
Curiosity Gap (information withholding triggers completion drive)
Pattern Interrupt (novelty breaks scrolling automation)
Social Proof (consensus heuristic triggers trust)
Loss Aversion (fear of missing out drives shares)

You'll understand the "why" behind every tactic.

Not just "do this"—but "this works because of X cognitive principle, which triggers Y algorithm signal."

🔍 SECTION 7: TikTok SEO Framework

The traffic source no one talks about:

Creator Search Insights walkthrough
How to rank in TikTok search (different from FYP algorithm)
Keyword optimization for discoverability
How to build a search-optimized profile
Long-tail search tactics for niche domination

Most creators only focus on FYP. You'll get traffic from both.

📊 SECTION 8: Quick Tips Cheatsheet

Printable 1-page reference:

Upload timing by niche
Sound selection shortcuts
Text formatting quick-checks
Metrics interpretation (what good/bad looks like)
Troubleshooting guide (if video dies, check these 5 things)

Keep it next to your desk. Reference before every post.

📹 SECTION 9: 5 Video Walkthroughs

Watch me break it down:

"How to use this system" (5 min) — Start here walkthrough
"Template #1 breakdown" (3 min) — Frame-by-frame analysis of 297K video
"Template #2 breakdown" (3 min) — Different niche application
"AI prompt tutorial" (3 min) — How to use ChatGPT/Claude for content generation
"Metrics tracking" (3 min) — What to measure and how to iterate

Total: 17 minutes of video. Everything else is text/PDF.

SECTION 7: WHY THIS WORKS WHEN COMPLEX VIDEOS DON'T

Most TikTok creators:

Spend 2 hours editing a 30-second video
Use 15 different transitions
Add trending sounds, effects, captions
Get 300 views
Don't know why it failed
Repeat

You (after The Algorithm Engine):

Spend 10 minutes creating a 5-second static video
Use simple text overlay
Apply algorithmic exploit #3 (Completion Engineering)
Get 30,000+ views
Know exactly which signals fired
Replicate systematically

The difference: You're engineering for TikTok's reward system, not guessing what "viral" looks like.

SECTION 8: SOCIAL PROOF

"I applied the 'This Feels Illegal' template to my fitness niche. First video: 47K views. I've never broken 2K before." — [You'll collect these after launch]

"The rewatch trigger is insane. My average watch time went from 34% to 87% overnight." — [Placeholder for future testimonials]

"I was spending $500/month on a video editor. Now I create everything in Canva in 10 minutes. Results are better." — [Placeholder for future testimonials]

SECTION 9: OBJECTIONS

"I'm not in the AI/business niche. Will this work for me?"

The algorithm mechanics (HILT, PDB, Monolith) are platform-wide. Static video engineering works in every niche.

Templates include customization for:

Fitness & Health
Finance & Investing
Cooking & Recipes
Parenting & Family
Beauty & Skincare
Gaming & Entertainment
Education & Tutorials

If you're on TikTok, this applies to you.

"I'm not good at design. Can I still do this?"

You don't need design skills. You need text on a static background.

TikTok's built-in text tool works
Canva (free version) works
Even a screenshot with text works

The template shows you exactly where to place text and what to write.

"Do I need editing software?"

No.

TikTok's native app has text tools. That's all you need.

If you want to get fancy, Canva is free.

You're creating ONE FRAME with text overlay. Export as video. Post.

"What if TikTok changes the algorithm?"

ByteDance's core infrastructure (HILT, PDB, Monolith) has been consistent since 2019.

These are structural mechanisms, not surface-level tactics.

The exploits section includes decay windows—I tell you which tactics are long-term (structural, won't change) and which are short-term (tactical, might shift).

Plus, the PDF is a living document. If ByteDance files new patents, I update the system and you get the updates.

"How long does it take to create a video with this system?"

10-15 minutes once you understand the template.

Choose template (1 min)
Write text using AI prompt (3 min)
Create frame in Canva/TikTok (5 min)
Export and post (1 min)

Faster than what you're doing now. Better results.

"Is this 'blackhat' or will I get banned?"

No.

You're optimizing for TikTok's documented reward signals (rewatches, completion rate, shares).

That's literally what they want. High-quality content that keeps users engaged.

This is "whitehat" engineering. You're playing by their rules—you just actually know what the rules are.

"Do you offer refunds?"

Yes. 6-month implementation guarantee.

Apply The Algorithm Engine system for 6 months. If you don't generate at least one video with 10,000+ views using the templates and exploits, email me your analytics and get a full refund.

I've never had a refund from someone who actually posted. The only refunds come from people who bought but never tried.

If you're serious about TikTok growth, this is the last system you'll need.

Two Paths Forward

Path 1:

Keep making complex videos. Learn editing. Hope the algorithm "picks you." Watch them die at 300 views. Wonder why nothing works.

Path 2:

Engineer simple content for ByteDance's actual recommendation infrastructure. Force rewatches. Track metrics. Iterate. Scale.

The Algorithm Isn't Random

It's a machine.

Machines have inputs and outputs.

Control the inputs, control the outputs.

I spent 47 hours reading ByteDance's patents so you don't have to.

You get the system in 9 sections.

One frame. Five seconds. 297,500 views.

P.S. This isn't about becoming a professional video editor. It's about understanding how TikTok's algorithm assigns point values to viewer behaviors—and engineering content that maximizes those points with minimal effort.

Stop doing more. Start engineering better.

P.P.S. I'm increasing the price to $347 in 90 days when I add the Instagram Reels adaptation module. Lock in $297 now.

FAQ (Extended)

Q: How is this different from other TikTok courses? A: Other courses reverse-engineer the creator's own success (survivorship bias). This system is reverse-engineered from ByteDance's actual patents (infrastructure documentation). They're guessing. This is engineering.

Q: Do I need a large following to make this work? A: No. The algorithm tests every video with small audiences first (Partitioned Data Buckets). If your video scores high on rewatch + completion signals, it gets pushed to larger buckets. Following size doesn't matter in initial testing.

Q: What equipment do I need? A: A phone. That's it. You're creating static frames with text. No camera work. No lighting. No microphone.

Q: Can I use this for Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts? A: The core principles apply (rewatches, completion rate) but the algorithms are slightly different. The system is TikTok-specific. I'm adding Reels/Shorts adaptations in 90 days (price will increase to $347).

Q: How technical is the patent research section? A: I've translated it into plain English with examples. If you can read this sales page, you can understand the system.

Q: Is there ongoing support or a community? A: This is a self-study system. Everything you need is inside. No calls, no community, no ongoing support. It's designed to be complete and autonomous.

Q: What if I have questions after buying? A: The FAQ section inside the product covers 90% of questions. The video walkthroughs cover the rest. This is intentionally designed to be plug-and-play without needing 1-on-1 support.

Q: How often do you update the system? A: When ByteDance files new patents (2-4 times per year), I review them and update if there are new exploits. You get the updates automatically.

Q: Can I share this with others? A: No. This is licensed for individual use. If you want to share, use the affiliate program (30% commission on referrals).

Q: Do you have an affiliate program? A: Yes. After purchase, you'll get an affiliate link. Earn 30% commission ($89 per sale) for every referral.

Stop overcomplicating TikTok.

The algorithm doesn't care about your editing skills.

It cares about rewatch signals, completion rates, and user behavior.

Engineer for the metrics that matter.
