Why it works
The first 19.3 seconds establish the central failure question before the first cut, then a four-step business model at 1:18–1:42 gives the audience a clear mechanism. The offer-versus-asking-price passage at 3:59.5–4:08.4 is the strongest replay peak, and the 4:29 IPO reversal turns hype into sourced financial consequences.
