Why it works
A spoken scale claim gets a simple emblem and number placard in shot 1, then six long measured shots keep changing illustrated evidence without breaking the narrator's phrases. The circuit texture remains continuous at f7722, and the measured 30-frame focus pull at f7898 shifts the last chapter from mechanism to uncertainty before the open ending.
