Why it works
The opening states a billion-dollar outcome by 0:30, then turns the history and fixed-rate rule into a clear causal chain before asking the timing question at 4:58. Brief uppercase labels, a GDP chart at 4:32, and a two-currency diagram at 5:44 make abstract finance visible; that diagram sits inside the measured segment's strongest replay peak at 5:44–5:50. The detector groups many visible edits into 12 broad segments but records 163 internal picture changes in six minutes.
