Why it works
The 46-frame aerial gives way to people at frame 46, so the story gains human scale before the project appears. Aerial rows return around shots 26–32 as spoken results become concrete; shot 26 pulls out to ×0.68, revealing system scale. The final 184-frame card gives the voice-led argument a quiet landing.
