[ SLANG ][ CREATOR_GROWTH ][ NOUN ]
A short, sudden spike in viewer retention at one specific moment in a video, distinct from the overall retention window by being a single isolated beat rather than a sustained stretch.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"There's a retention pulse right at the two-minute mark every single time, that's exactly where the payoff hits."
LORE & ORIGIN
Borrows 'pulse' from signal-processing language, isolating one spike within 'retention-window''s broader early-stretch framing.
