Why it works
The opening makes scarcity measurable: travel anecdotes become a 347-location count and competitor bars by 0:53, the strongest replay window (0:46–0:53). A business-model detour creates a real reveal at 3:13, and store, menu, quality, and labor examples from 3:19 onward test the thesis instead of merely repeating it.
