Why it works
The headline and draining icon establish the threat before the first cut at frame 55. Shot 3 connects atmospheric replenishment to withdrawal through a measured +177.3% vertical image move, while shot 5 travels −104.0% horizontally from a person to a map. The internal cut at frame 1498 moves the argument from solutions to affordability without resetting the narration.
