Why it works
The opening builds a yellow 86% badge by 1.5 seconds, then reveals the strange action around 0:05, creating a specific curiosity gap. A question at 0:30 and fresh visual chapters at 2:30 and 3:18 keep a dense 205-wpm explanation navigable; the airplane reveal at 3:19–3:24 is the strongest measured replay peak. Maps, macro footage, sourced numbers, and comic inserts make an invisible process visible.
