Why it works

The 0:00–0:03 hook progresses from a stark time card to a reaction face and challenger logo while narration begins immediately. Sixty-seven shots and 35 inside-shot changes keep evidence moving, with benchmark and ranking screenshots at 0:13 and 0:29 and a technical payoff around 2:45. The most-replayed span at 1:18–1:20 centers on a brief social reply that punctures an inflated claim.
