Why it works
The premise is clear by 0:04, moving from a saturated Valentine cutout to a direct economics title. A single blue-grid scene builds a scale ladder from a $24 billion chart at 0:14 to $120,000 at 0:24 and $170 per month at 0:32; the 0:14 chart aligns with the strongest measured replay peak. Rough-edged yellow number cards and simple character swaps keep the 34-second graphic shot legible without constant cutting.
