Beat-by-beat structure

1. Hook (0:00–0:30): open on the puzzle of 'Written decision logs' in one image.
2. Setup (0:30–2:00): define the key terms in plain words; borrow structure from Slido, not lines.
3. Mechanism (2:00–5:00): walk the cause-and-effect with one diagram; cite the evidence beat (Yes, getting people to actually respond can be tricky. That’s why it’s…).
4. Contrast (5:00–7:00): show the common myth or the second case from Turn the Lens with Jeff Frick.
5. Recap card: three takeaways + one 'check this yourself' action. Original narration only.
