Why it works
The first minute converts a broad future question into a specific expert test by 0:50, while a sourced population statistic appears around 0:08. The strongest measured replay peak, 1:10–1:20, lands on the cinematic first case reveal; later peaks at 2:00–2:10 and 2:30–2:40 match the real building and conceptual comparisons. Across the analysed 6:00, 147 shots and 64 internal picture changes keep a dense explanation visually specific.
