01Comp library inspiration anchors

[Anchor A] 790102766708100 — biorootlabs — 84.1 (rank_mrv 7) — ex-pharma-insider absorption reframe Hook pattern: "The truth about turmeric 👀" — curiosity authority open; scripted-authority register On-screen text style: caption hook + science-breakdown labels; three-requirements list builds on screen B-roll cuing: absorption-science-breakdown mechanism diagram (sparse — talking-head-heavy) Transition: hard cut hook → authority; soft within mechanism Mute-test asset: caption-hook text + speaker face

Best-fit beat type in our script: hook + mechanism-reveal — PRIMARY. The counterintuitive-claim open + the conversion-gap teach.

Tooling stack inferred: Soul Cinema single-speaker studio authority. Matches our target ✓.

[Anchor B] 2055095701568031 — groundingwell — 91.9 (rank 1) — medical-lecture On-screen text style: on-screen-caption-hook (text leads the first frames)

Best-fit beat type: hook caption mechanic — SECONDARY (borrow the t=0 caption-reveal that carries mute-test).

Tooling stack inferred: Soul Cinema + post overlays ✓.

03Visual continuity audit
  • Location: single studio throughout. ✓ Lighting: warm-neutral default, consistent (no unwarranted shifts). ✓ Speaker: one NHA, consistent. ✓ Diagram layer: consistent line-art language Beats 2-3. ✓
04Mute-test verification
  • First 5s: PASS — face + "YOUR FOLLICLES ARE STARVING" center text (Fork-4 strategy 1). Survives full 5s (VS5 ✓). Hook text 4 words (VS2 ✓).
05Production-limitation cross-ref
  • production_limitations.md empty Phase-1 → formal check silent-skips (no false-positive). Solo×studio + PROVEN avatar lineage = lowest-friction AI render in the batch; production-ready now via Soul Cinema. This is the control's strategic value — cheapest to produce, highest test-confidence.
