Why it works
The opening changes source images twice by 2.5 seconds, establishing the subject before the desk explanation. A concession at 0:49–1:10 makes the later stakes at 1:13–1:49 more credible; the central question and five-part rubric arrive at 2:30–3:30. The 1:58–2:15 replay peak coincides with the prior-review collage and promise to test four videos.
