Why it works
The opening search question is readable by 0:02, and a spreadsheet soon makes its stakes personal without a narrator. Fast calendar passages at 0:20–0:25 and 0:55–1:00 compress years through two clusters of sub-second cuts; the final education budget at 1:13 echoes the opening money calculation with new family stakes.
