Why it works
The first 29 seconds move from an immediate change to a map and clear economic stakes, while the presenter-to-map cut at 2.42 seconds gives the claim a location. Evidence arrives in layers: port footage at 1:10–1:14, a specific daily-volume figure around 1:04, infrastructure footage after 2:00, and charts at 2:25 and 3:42. The 1:10.8–1:13.2 port sequence is also the top replay window, consistent with viewers returning to concrete proof.
