Multi-brand carousel: tactic → result → transferable lesson ×4

A 5-beat faceless video outline for “Multi-brand carousel: tactic → result → transferable lesson ×4” in the Small business case studies niche, derived from caption timing of 1 reference videos.

Angles

• Open on a rapid-fire list of tactics (regional specialties, no-frill layouts, drive-through redesign) — mirrors the WSJ cold open
• Each brand = one tactic → one sourced result → one lesson a small shop can reuse
• Keep the carousel to 4 brands so each gets a real 'why it worked'

Beat-by-beat structure

1. Hook (0:00–0:30): flash four tactics on screen; promise one transferable lesson per brand.
2. Frame (0:30–1:00): small-business viewers; no stock tips, numbers only when sourced.
3. Core ×4: tactic → what changed for customers → result (cited) → 'steal this ethically' card.
4. Contrast beat: one tactic that only works at scale — say so plainly.
5. Recap the 4 lessons as a checklist + next-episode tease. Original narration only.
