Why it works
The opening makes the unrealized machine tangible with a moving engine close-up and precise capability claims before the title reset at 0:32. A competitor chart at 2:16, highlighted documents around 3:08, and the physical model from 4:08 turn the policy and engineering story into visible evidence; 124 internal steps keep the first six minutes moving despite only 23 firm cuts.
