Why it works
One tower image holds for 11.8 seconds while a dated executive claim creates a contradiction, then 1–3-second product and archive cuts establish former scale. Familiar products at 1:02–1:23 make the later licensing reversal surprising; a proportional chart near 2:04 makes the loss concrete. A five-unit map at 2:52 and the lighting case from 3:13 give the history a clear route, with replay peaks around the map and the cartel detail.
