Why it works
A tiny circle at 0:05 becomes a four-step scale demonstration by 0:19, making an abstract gap visible before the 0:37 turn to the viewer's own situation. The proof page around 4:25 and portrait-number cards from 4:38 coincide with the strongest replay peak within the measured six minutes (4:32–4:42); the salary equation at 5:14 then leads into a worked figure around 5:41. These are associations from the sampled frames and replay data, not proof of causation.
