STORYBOARD — V2 Prisoner of the Four-Hour Rule — Faceless VO × Domestic UGC compilation + macro bench (D09 Prop-Demo) [KD_C0085]

The locked script is an Echo-chain deliverable and does not carry v2 Fields 19/20/21/25. Mapping used:

The no-presenter ruling (D09, and this board is the chain's first fully faceless one). Run-3's S2 established the composite convention for a board whose second character is a media source rather than a performer. V2 goes one step further: there is no performer at all, on either layer. No face carries the ad, no continuous human is ever established, and nothing on this board is lip-synced. What replaces the presenter is the donor's own answer: a physical object manipulated on camera, with a voice riding on top. Consequences that bind every beat below:

• The demo is not B-roll. The demo is the ad. Everything else is context around it.
• Faces are permitted, but never held and never re-established. Domestic UGC clips may show women in frame (the donor's own stack does), but no clip runs past ~2s, no woman recurs as a character, and no clip is ever cut as a reaction shot. The moment a face becomes a speaker the mode has flipped and the board is being executed wrong.
• No eyeline to lens, ever. Direct address belongs to a presenter format. Here the camera is an observer of hands and objects.
• No casting call for a presenter exists. The casting that IS required is hands and one mouth. See the casting constraint in the production cross-ref.
• v2's compatibility_matrix does not model a faceless mode — a dynamic × setting viability check has nothing to check, because there is no dynamic in the performed sense. Declared, not silently skipped. Speaker 2.1's "Known incompatible" rows (Solo × On-stage, Solo × TV-set, 2p-debate, 2p-clinical-encounter, 3+panel) are all untouched by construction: this board has no set and no scene partner.

Review-flag dispositions (ship order, gates delegated): copy is LOCKED — this storyboard changes zero words. ① SOFT-1 (the script's derived percentages and pause math are unreliable): fully quarantined. Every number on this board — per-beat word counts, timecodes, runtimes, pause budget — is taken from the review's independently re-derived check-10 table, never from the script's TRANSPOSITION PLAN or its self-audit. The plan's 84.7 / 84.6 / 84.0 and its 20.2% close-block figure appear nowhere here. ② SOFT-2 (Hook B names self-selection at sentence three, not line one): mitigated storyboard-side. B's qualification is moved to frame zero visually — the seven-slot organizer and the pre-dawn counter are on screen at t=0, and the "SAME THYROID. DIFFERENT MORNING." card lands at t≈1.0s, so on muted autoplay B qualifies before the spoken mirror completes. Zero copy change. ③ SOFT-3 (Beat 3's em-dash where the donor uses ", but"): handled as direction, not as copy. The VO reads the dash as a comma-and-turn, not as a full stop; and the dash is never burned on screen, because the caption track chunks that line into "Not another compressed tablet" / "for your stomach to fight" / "it's liquid thyroid support". Zero copy change, zero voltage cost. ④ SOFT-4 (register anchor 2.1 is doing tone-only work): boarded into the VO brief as its first line, so no director casts a confessional journey that 199 words cannot carry. ⑤ SOFT-5 (the Benefit climax's sentence ends on the weaker of its two nouns): mitigated storyboard-side, never softened. The visual climax lands ON THE ORGANIZER — the final shot of Beat 5 is the organizer going off the counter and into a drawer, timed to "FINALLY", so the picture's subject is the object even though the sentence's tail is not. The copy is untouched and the direction is hotter in-register, not cooler, exactly as the review requires. ⑥ SOFT-6 (EQ weight-basis bookkeeping): nothing to board.

Hook-variant handling (Echo 1×3 contract): Beat 1 exists as THREE storyboard variants (1A / 1B / 1C) — interchangeable opening sections. Beats 2 to 9 are the shared locked-body storyboard. All three exit on the IDENTICAL seam state — a hard cut out of a domestic close-up with the caption track live and the bed already running — so any variant cuts straight onto Beat 2's opening line ("A thyroid routine isn't just about remembering pills") with no re-introduction and no re-establishment. There are ZERO variant-conditional body elements on this board (unlike Run-3's S2, whose Beat 5 corner slot needed two renders). One body cut serves all three hooks. This is worth stating plainly because it is a real production saving: three final cuts, one body render.

Delivery markup: the script carries two bracketed direction tokens — [pause] in Hook A, [pause] [quieter] in the Reframe beat, and [pause] in Hook C. [quieter] is a register direction, not a hold. All markup is stripped from every on-screen string and carried into per-beat DIRECTION notes. CAPS emphasis (ACTUALLY, FINALLY, and Hook C's "whole") is voice, never a burn.

Pause budget (per variant, 0.8s per bracketed pause token, stated against the band ceiling): Hook A carries 1 pause, Hook C carries 1 pause, the shared body carries 1 pause (the Reframe). So A = 2 tokens = +1.6s · B = 1 token = +0.8s · C = 2 tokens = +1.6s. Delivered against the donor band ceiling of 89.7s:

Honest reading of that headroom: it is generous, and it is generous on purpose. Zied authorised up to 90s and the writer deliberately did not spend it. That headroom is not a budget to fill. This is the batch's deliberate short-form outlier against 3:00, 3:38 and 8:54 siblings, and the single named risk for this slot was length drift. The editor may spend at most ~1s of it on the two holds landing slightly long; no beat may be extended, no shot may be held to "use the time", and nothing may be added to reach 90s. If a cut comes back at 88s, something was padded.

Nine-beat discipline (donor budget preserved): 9/9 donor beat order, including the donor's own SHAPE deviation — a standalone CTA beat where winning SHAPE closes usually fuse the ask into the offer. No beat added, dropped or re-ordered. Heaviest beats = Benefit Stack 15s (21.1% word-share vs donor's 20.5% duration-share) and Reframe 13s (18.1% vs 14.1%) — the donor's own two heaviest body slots, in order.

This section is the board. Everything after it is context, rhythm and captioning around one physical result. The mini-brief calls this load-bearing wall #2 and the donor report names its equivalent (the macro softgel slice) as the #1 thing to copy. The V2 analog is simpler and better: a compressed tablet in a glass of water, one hour, still whole — against two amber drops that are gone in a second. It answers, physically and without a single word, the only real objection in a saturated supplement category: will my body actually absorb this.

If this demo is shot badly, no amount of editing rescues the ad. If it is shot well, the ad is essentially finished.

The bench (one setup, one session, everything below shot on it)

Locked-off tripod, macro lens, side-on through the glass at liquid level (not down into it — the whole point is the object sitting on the bottom of the frame). Plain mid-grey or warm-neutral seamless behind, ~40cm back so it falls soft. One soft top-left key plus a black flag opposite for a hard edge on the glass. Clean straight-sided glass tumbler, no facets, no logo, no ice. Room-temperature still water, filled to a consistent marked level for every take. Nothing in the frame moves except the subject — the tripod is not touched between D-1 and D-3, because the time-lapse only reads as evidence if the frame is provably identical.

Shot by shot

Hard demo rules

• The tablet is a generic competitor-category compressed tablet, brand anonymized — no label, no logo, no debossed brand mark in frame, ever. Turn it, crop it, or use an unmarked one.
• Kindled makes no tablet. No frame may be stageable as "this is the Kindled tablet". The Kindled bottle and dropper appear on this board only as the amber-drop side and the product macros, never as the thing in the glass.
• Water is water, and the captions say so. The stamps read "1 HOUR" and "IN WATER". Nothing on screen calls the glass a stomach, a gut, an acid test or a simulation. The demo is exactly as strong when it is described accurately, and describing it accurately is also what keeps it repeatable by a viewer at her own counter.
• One hour is real, and it is shot as one hour. No cheating the interval with a faster-dissolving decoy or a shorter capture stretched in post. The whole persuasive weight is that the result is boring and true.
• The demo is never cut on a beat-change for rhythm's sake. It is the one place on this board where the 1 to 2 second cut discipline is deliberately broken: D-2 and D-3 hold. That break is the point — the ad stops moving exactly where the proof is.
• SFX carry it: the tablet's dull plink, then silence (the nothing-happening IS the proof), then a soft dropper squeeze on the liquid side. Per the script's DELIVERY NOTES, this is the one place the bed thins.

Rotation: N/A this run — the donor is PINNED per the run order (SEED, binding; no rotation re-query executed, per the task directive). Supporting anchors are drawn from the run-4 pinned reference set itself plus the concept's own cited hook-formula rows — declared choices per §2f (a deliberate re-use is the operator's right; rotation never blocks a declared choice). Log append SKIPPED (echo run — handled at package). Pool note: no fresh §2b/§2c query ran. Same working resolution as the E3, R3 and Run-3 findings — a SEED board inherits its anchor set from the pinned donor plus the mini-brief's citations, and re-queries only when a beat type is left uncovered. Nothing is uncovered here: the donor is itself a D09 and supplies grammar for all nine beats. Run-3's S2 finding #4 (reserve an anchor slot for a same-mode geometry reference when the board is the account's first in a delivery mode) is satisfied without a re-query — the run's own V4 donor is a second measured D09, and it is Anchor B below. Within-session/cross-session diversity: zero overlap with the pilot-1 or Run-3 anchor sets. This is the chain's first lirae-donor board and its first D09 board.

[Anchor A — CORNERSTONE] 814438051152496 — lirae — winner_score 81.87 — video (THE DONOR, SEED — pinned CORNERSTONE; the highest-evidence ad in the entire shortlist) Hook pattern: H01 Symptom Mirror — a stacked-conditional qualification inventory read at speed (monitor, pricks, crashes, food math), each item a self-check, resolving on a liberation turn. Hook beat 9s (corpus p75 to p90). Visual interrupt: a man peeling OFF a CGM patch — an interrupt precisely because medical apparatus is conventionally shown being applied or worn, so removal reads as rejecting the whole prisoner life. Mute test rated extremely strong. On-screen text style: clean white centred captions tracking the VO word-for-word. No card system, no verdict stamps — the caption track is the text layer. B-roll cuing: there is no B-roll, there is a compilation. Rapid-fire domestic-lighting footage of middle-aged and older adults (finger prick, napping on a couch, overwhelmed at a pasta-covered table, then dancing and playing with grandchildren), a 3D animation insert, a split-screen comparison, an actor pointing at packaging, all riding under one VO. 1 to 2 second cuts through agitation, slowing at the mechanism. Hero device: a macro scalpel-slice through a golden translucent softgel releasing thick oil — the report names it the #1 thing to copy, and it is the physical answer to the category's only real objection. Transition style: hard cuts throughout, no dissolves, no transitions-as-decoration. Mute-test asset: the apparatus-rejection action plus the word-mirroring caption.

Best-fit beat type in our script: ALL (SEED full-pattern borrow). Primary: hook apparatus-rejection (1A), the barely-agitate problem beat (2), first-person product entry with a construction contrast (3), the pre-solved-format mechanism (4), the soft-dated benefit ladder climbing to an apparatus-liberation climax (5), the reframe and confidence restoration (6), dose-then-guarantee (7), the soft non-terminal cost of delay (8), the standalone CTA beat (9).

Tooling stack inferred: UGC/stock compilation + practical macro hero demo + one 3D insert + VO + post captions — maps 1:1 to our hybrid target. No adaptation strain: this is the donor whose production we are literally reproducing, and it is the lightest stack in the pinned set.

[Anchor B] 1238484691057182 — elare — winner_score 73.61 — video (the pinned set's OTHER measured D09 — HERO-DEMO grammar) Hero device: a time-lapse of five cups — four with calcium still sitting, cup five completely clear — cross-cut against an industrial benchmark that barely reached 30%. This is the closest measured precedent in the set for what a locked-off dissolution time-lapse has to do to carry an ad: a single unglamorous frame, an honest interval, and a result the viewer can check. On-screen text style: bold colour-highlighted captions locking key words ("DISSOLVED CALCIUM", "730 DAYS"). B-roll cuing: the report calls the blend a "fake-real" documentary feel — raw home-video-grade footage welded to polished stock. 1.5 to 2.5 second cuts, slowing only where gravity is needed.

Best-fit beat type in our script: the HERO MACRO DEMO section (D-1 to D-6) and its two placements — Hook 1C's demo-as-hook and Beat 3's proof. Secondary: the split-screen build (D-6).

Tooling stack inferred: practical macro bench + time-lapse + stock + VO — matches our demo layer exactly. FLAG (VS6 cross-adaptation logged): its EUREKA 3-minute arc, its child-protagonist discovery framing, its converted-authority beat and its 70%-off close are NOT imported — V2 is a 78s SHAPE full-match with a 30-day guarantee and no discount. Borrowed at demo-grammar level only.

[Anchor C] 1166508455566493 — norseorganics — winner_score 67.36 — video (HOOK-B formula source, H08 Transformation Receipt) Hook pattern: H08 Transformation Receipt — past tense plus timeframe, a completed transformation stated as fact, with a before/after interrupt. The cited exemplar for this archetype in mined/hook_seconds.md, and the parity reference the script names ("This is my daughter's skin… This is 4 weeks later"). On-screen text style: receipt-forward, the two states labelled rather than narrated.

Best-fit beat type in our script: Hook 1B ONLY — the two-shot receipt structure (same frame, two times, the change carried by the frame rather than by the words).

Tooling stack inferred: D02 parent-narrative confessional with an on-camera storyteller. FLAG (VS6 cross-adaptation logged): the confessional narrator and the body-transformation content are REJECTED wholesale — a face would break D09 outright, and our receipt is a routine transformation (a counter, not a body), which is the on-thesis and safer choice for the relief register. Borrowed at receipt-STRUCTURE level only, restaged as two locked-off counter shots with no human in either.

[Anchor D] 1503403807826984 — thebbco — winner_score 58.84 — video (HOOK-C formula source, H07 Lecture Bait, demonstrated form) Hook pattern: H07 Lecture Bait in its demonstrated form — narration setting up a live physical test ("Watch what happens when…"), which is catalog signature (d) and the exact form our Hook C opens on verbatim. Authority lives in the visible test, not in a credential or a story.

Best-fit beat type in our script: Hook 1C ONLY — the demonstrated-form open, and specifically the decision to spend second zero on the test rather than on a claim.

⚠️ HONEST FLAG (two, both material): ① winner_score 58.84 sits below the 60 winner bar and is_winner: false in video_corpus.jsonl — this anchor is carried as a FORM citation only (it evidences what H07's demonstrated form is), never as a performance argument. ② Its own execution is a 435-second scripted-authority REFRAME on a menopause-joint-pain angle in D07 — none of that arc, register, pacing or delivery mode is imported. Borrowed at hook-FORM level only (VS6 cross-adaptation logged).

[Anchor E] 26907486858952165 — resilia — winner_score 65.38 — video (FACELESS-VO + anatomy-insert reference) Delivery: D04 Faceless Anatomy & Timeline Narrator — no on-camera presenter anywhere, a VO narrating over clean 3D internal-physiology animation, register relief. Included because it is the pinned set's other faceless mode and the only measured precedent available for the two things this board most lacks in-house: how a disembodied VO holds an ad together without a face to return to, and how an internal-mechanism 3D insert is cut so it explains rather than decorates.

Best-fit beat type in our script: Beat 6 (Reframe) ONLY — the slowed-gut and sublingual-uptake insert, plus the global faceless-VO caption discipline.

Tooling stack inferred: VO + 3D render stack + post captions. FLAG (VS6 cross-adaptation logged): its 12-beat monotonic ramp, its week-by-week timeline spine and its social-proof-plus-hard-scarcity close are NOT imported — V2 runs 9 SHAPE beats, no timeline, and no scarcity at all (the donor runs none, so neither do we).

Global visual spine (applies to every beat unless overridden). 9:16 vertical. NO PRESENTER, NO FACE HELD, NO EYELINE TO LENS — see the no-presenter ruling. Footage is domestic-lit and unglamorous: real kitchens, real counters, window light and one warm practical, phone-grade depth of field, handheld micro-drift on the UGC layer and locked-off on the macro layer. Women who appear in the UGC layer are 48 to 62, real skin, real hands, no manicure, no styling — and no clip runs past ~2s. CUTTING: hard cuts only, no dissolves, 1 to 2 seconds per clip through the hook and agitation, easing to 2 to 3 seconds at the mechanism and the reframe, and deliberately holding only on the hero demo. CAPTIONS (the text layer): clean white centred sans, word-mirroring the VO, phrase-chunked at 3 to 6 words per card so no full sentence ever sits on screen at once. Captions run continuously from t=0 to the end frame — this is the donor's grammar and it is also what makes the whole ad legible muted. STAMPS: flat, bold, all-caps, no boxes, no ornament, used sparingly on top of the caption track at the points listed per beat. AUDIO: dry and near-silent under the hook (alarm buzz, the plastic click of the organizer, glass clink); a low warm pad enters at Beat 3; acoustic build through Beat 5; strip back to room tone for the [quieter] moment inside Beat 6; a steady warm bed under the close. PROP LAW: exactly one branded object exists on the board, the real Kindled bottle and its dropper. Every competing object (tablet, organizer, single-nutrient bottles) is unbranded or turned away, and none is ever presented as ours.

The avatar-tool prompt block on this board uses a layer-routed production syntax rather than a single-tool syntax, because no beat has one tool: LAYER names the production route per element (practical-macro / ugc-stock / ugc-pickup / 3d-generate / post), SHOTS is the shot list in cut order with per-shot durations, OST is the post text layer, SFX and TRANSITION as usual, DIRECTION NOTE carries the VO read. This extends the v2 per-beat schema, which models one tool per beat — declared, not smuggled.

LAYER: ugc-pickup (practical, hands only) + post
SHOTS (cut order):
  1. 1.6s  MACRO phone on dark counter, "4:00" alarm ringing, locked
  2. 1.6s  CU hand sets mug down beside a full glass of water, does not lift it
  3. 2.2s  CU seven-slot pill organizer, lids up, 3 unbranded amber bottles behind
  4. 2.2s  INTERRUPT: both hands SNAP all lids shut in one pass, then PUSH the
           organizer off the counter edge, out of frame. Handheld, too close.
           Do NOT cut to where it lands.
  5. 3.4s  MACRO thumb DELETES the 4:00 alarm; screen goes dark; ~1s hold on black screen
CASTING: hands only, woman 48-62, unmanicured, no rings that read as styling
OST (post): caption track word-mirroring from t=0, 3-6 words per chunk;
           stamp "THE 4 A.M. THYROID PILL RITUAL" lower third, t=0.3s to t=3.5s
SFX: alarm buzz t=0; kettle hiss under shot 2; the plastic CLICK of the lids (loudest
     hit so far); a low scrape as the organizer leaves frame; silence on the dark screen
TRANSITION: [pause] = TIGHT <=0.8s hold on the organizer leaving frame, then hard cut
DIRECTION NOTE (VO): register anchor 2.1 TONE-ONLY (see VO brief). Peer, warm, lived-it,
           never credentialed. Read the conditional stack AT SPEED as one breath, no
           list-cadence, no rising interrogative. The turn ("this is the morning the math
           finally ends") lands as a VERDICT, flat and certain, NOT as permission.
           166.9 wpm. No hesitation, no disfluency (donor transcript is scripted-clean).
DURATION: 11s (30 words @166.9 wpm = 10.8s + one [pause])

LAYER: ugc-pickup (practical, locked) + post
SHOTS (cut order):
  1. 5.0s  LOCKED counter, pre-dawn lamp: 7-slot organizer + 4 unbranded amber bottles
           + full glass of water + untouched mug. NOTHING MOVES. Hold the full 5s.
  2. 6.8s  IDENTICAL FRAME, daylight: one Kindled dropper bottle + a FINISHED coffee.
           Organizer gone. Hand enters at ~5.5s and lifts the dropper.
CRITICAL: same tripod position, same lens, same height, same surface, marked. Shoot
           both halves in one session with the camera untouched; change only the light
           and the props that the story removes.
OST (post): caption track from t=0; stamp "SAME THYROID. DIFFERENT MORNING."
           centred, t=1.0s, ~4s hold
SFX: room tone only under the before (a clock, a fridge hum); a single warm swell on
     the cut; a mug set down under the after
TRANSITION: hard cut on "listen"
DIRECTION NOTE (VO): first-person receipt, past tense, stated as ordinary fact and NEVER
           as a boast. "Same thyroid" is the hinge - land it flat. The pivot to second
           person ("if your counter looks like mine, listen") is an invitation, not a
           command. No pause token in this variant.
DURATION: 12s (32 words @166.9 wpm = 11.5s)

LAYER: practical-macro (the hero bench, D-1 -> D-2 -> D-3) + post
SHOTS (cut order):
  1. 3.5s  D-1 tablet released into the glass; 120fps, slowed to ~1.5s fall;
           tap on the bottom; chalky plume settles
  2. 0.5s  [pause] = DEAD STILL on the settled tablet, <=0.8s. No move, no words.
  3. 2.5s  D-2 the 60-minute time-lapse, locked, identical frame, tablet does not open
  4. 3.5s  D-3 the glass tipped a few degrees; the tablet SLIDES intact; hold
BENCH: locked tripod NOT touched between shots 1 and 4 - the identical frame is
       the evidence. See the HERO MACRO DEMO section.
OST (post): caption track from t=0; "A THYROID SUPPLEMENT TABLET" lower third
           t=0.4s-3.0s; "1 HOUR" MASSIVE centred t=4.2s-6.5s; "STILL WHOLE" t=7.6s to cut
SFX: the dull PLINK of the tablet, then SILENCE under the lapse (the nothing-happening
     is the proof); a faint glass scrape on the tip
TRANSITION: hard cut on "every single morning"
DIRECTION NOTE (VO): narration setting up a live test - curious and level, NOT
           theatrical. "Watch what happens" is an invitation to look, not a tease.
           "One hour. Still whole." are two flat fragments, each landing on its own
           stamp. "whole" carries CAPS emphasis in VOICE only, never burned.
DURATION: 10s (28 words @166.9 wpm = 10.1s, incl. one [pause])

LAYER: post (clock build) + ugc-stock / ugc-pickup
SHOTS (cut order):
  1. 2.5s  CLOCK BUILD (motion graphic): flat clock face, neutral field. "4:00 A.M."
           stamps t=0.4s; a +60 MIN gap arcs out t=1.2s; a 4 HOUR gap arcs the other
           way t=2.0s. THE GAPS ARE THE SUBJECT, not the times.
  2. 2.0s  CU hand thumbing a cluttered shelf of unbranded single-nutrient bottles;
           reads one label, puts it back
  3. 2.5s  CU coffee going cold beside a laptop, workday started, glass still full
  4. 2.0s  CU hand hovers over the organizer, HESITATES, takes a capsule anyway
OST (post): captions; "4:00 A.M." t=0.4s / "+60 MIN, NO COFFEE" t=1.2s /
           "4 HOURS FROM THE LEVO" t=2.0s / "EVERY CAPSULE IS A GUESS" t=7.3s to cut
SFX: a soft tick per stamp on the clock build; room tone under the footage; no music
     swell yet (the pad does not enter until Beat 3)
TRANSITION: hard cut on "a guess"
DIRECTION NOTE (VO): BARELY AGITATE. This is 9% of the donor and it must feel like a
           shared observation, not an indictment. The triad ("steals your mornings,
           scatters your day, makes every capsule feel like a guess") is read at pace,
           evenly, with no build and no bitterness. She is describing her own kitchen.
DURATION: 9s (25 words @166.9 wpm = 9.0s)

LAYER: practical-macro (bench recall + product) + post
SHOTS (cut order):
  1. 2.0s  D-2 RECALL: the still-whole tablet in the glass. Identical on all 3 cuts.
  2. 3.0s  MACRO the real Kindled bottle lifted off a kitchen counter, unhurried,
           label toward camera but NOT presented. Domestic window light. Real hand.
           NO product-shot seamless, NO styling, NO turntable.
  3. 4.0s  MACRO the dropper drawn out and held; amber liquid visible in the pipette
           against window light; a single bead at the tip; shallow focus
PROPS: the real Kindled bottle + dropper (the board's ONLY branded object)
OST (post): captions chunked so the script's dash never lands on screen;
           "NOT A COMPRESSED TABLET" t=1.4s; "LIQUID. UNDER THE TONGUE." t=6.0s
SFX: bottle set-down tick; the low warm pad ENTERS here and stays
TRANSITION: soft cut on "under your tongue" (the board's only soft cut - the pace eases)
DIRECTION NOTE (VO): SOFT-3 disposition - read the written em-dash as ", but", a comma
           and a turn, NOT a full stop. "That's why I started taking Kindled" is the
           board's only first-person entry and it arrives with no prior establishment,
           exactly as the donor does it ("That's why I started using Lirae"). Do not
           add warmth to compensate; the flatness is the donor's.
DURATION: 9s (26 words @166.9 wpm = 9.3s)

LAYER: practical-macro + post
SHOTS (cut order):
  1. 3.0s  D-4 dropper squeezed, TWO amber drops released under a raised tongue,
           gone inside a second. Macro: underside of tongue + dropper tip ONLY.
           NO face, NO eyes. 120fps. Fallback: D-5 (same drops into water).
  2. 2.0s  MACRO finger tracking down the disclosed %DV panel on the real bottle,
           stopping on the three named lines in rhythm. Flat, even, legible.
OST (post): captions; "SELENIUM" t=3.2s / "ZINC" t=3.7s / "VITAMIN D3" t=4.2s
           landing ON their panel lines; "ALREADY DISSOLVED" t=4.6s into the cut
SFX: soft dropper squeeze; a light tick per name stamp
TRANSITION: hard cut on "absorbs them" into the first daylight frame
DIRECTION NOTE (VO): the beat eases - this is the donor's "slowing at the mechanism".
           The three actives are read as a plain list, no reverence. "ACTUALLY" carries
           CAPS emphasis in VOICE only (pitch, not volume) and is never burned.
DURATION: 5s (14 words @166.9 wpm = 5.0s)

LAYER: ugc-stock (primary) + ugc-pickup (the organizer drawer shot, must be OURS)
SHOTS (cut order, note the cuts SLOW as the beat climbs):
  1. 1.8s  daylight kitchen, window open, counter nearly empty
  2. 1.8s  a FINISHED coffee cup set in the sink
  3. 1.8s  woman 48-62 at a table, mid-sentence with someone off frame, unposed
  4. 1.8s  CU hands warm around a mug being drunk, not reheated
  5. 1.8s  mid-afternoon, walking through a doorway with car keys, not sitting down
  6. 2.0s  garden / back step: hands in soil, or a grandchild's hand held
  7. 2.0s  evening lamp, still upright and doing something at 8pm
  8. 2.0s  CLIMAX: the SAME 7-slot organizer from Hook A put into the back of a
           drawer; THE DRAWER SHUTS ON "FINALLY". This shot is a pickup, not stock -
           it must be the same organizer, same kitchen.
CASTING: no clip past ~2s, no woman recurs, no clip cut as a reaction shot.
OST (post): captions; "WITHIN WEEKS" t=0.5s-2.5s; "THE ORGANIZER STOPS RUNNING YOUR
           LIFE" t=13.4s to the cut
SFX: acoustic bed BUILDS across the beat; a real drawer-close thunk on shot 8 -
     the mirror of Hook A's lid CLICK, and the board's quietest hard hit
TRANSITION: hard cut on "your life"
DIRECTION NOTE (VO): the emotional peak - warm, opening up, unhurried. The ladder is
           soft-dated ("Within weeks") and stated declaratively, never hedged.
           "FINALLY" carries CAPS emphasis in VOICE only. SOFT-5: do NOT soften this
           line and do NOT re-write it; the fix is the PICTURE landing on the organizer.

LAYER: ugc-stock (opening frame) + 3d-generate + practical-macro (split reprise) + post
SHOTS (cut order):
  1. 2.5s  a still kitchen in morning light with NOBODY in it. No action. No stamp.
  2. 4.0s  3D INSERT A: stylized digestive tract, motility visibly SLOWING, a
           compressed tablet travelling through INTACT. Muted anatomical palette.
           NO gore, NO parasites, NO shock imagery - it explains, it does not disgust.
  3. 3.0s  3D INSERT B: same render world, under the tongue, amber liquid crossing
           the mucosal surface directly into vessels
  4. 3.5s  D-6 SPLIT REPRISE: still-whole tablet L / vanished drops R, DEAD STILL.
           The bed strips to ROOM TONE here.

OST (post): captions; "SLOW GUT. LOW STOMACH ACID." t=3.0s; "THE TABLETS JUST NEVER
           OPENED." t=11.0s to the cut. NOTHING over shot 1.
SFX: room tone under shot 1; a low internal pulse under the inserts; SILENCE under
     the split (the bed strips back for the [quieter] line and returns at Beat 7)
TRANSITION: [pause] = TIGHT <=0.8s hold on the split, then hard cut on "never opened"
DIRECTION NOTE (VO): the validation moment and the reason the concept works. "And this
           was never about your discipline" is said plainly, to her, not about her.
           [quieter] = drop close to the mic, do NOT slow down and do NOT go breathy -
           it is intimacy, not gravitas. "You followed the rules. The tablets just
           never opened." are two flat sentences; the second must not be inflected
           upward into a reveal. Tender, certain, over in eleven words.

SHOTS (cut order):
  1. 4.0s  the dropper squeezed TWICE over the edge of a breakfast plate (toast, mug,
           ordinary daylight, a real table), then straight to the mouth (D-4 framing,
           ~1s, no re-establishment). The frame must show TWO droppers.
  2. 3.5s  the bottle standing on the breakfast table beside a finished plate.
           Object + domestic clutter only.
  3. 2.5s  TIGHT on the bottle, guarantee badge composited beside it. Clean type badge.
           NO seal, NO ribbon, NO laurel.
OST (post): captions; "TWO DROPPERS WITH BREAKFAST" t=1.2s; "30-DAY MONEY-BACK
           GUARANTEE" t=6.5s (~3s hold, lands AFTER the guarantee is spoken whole);
           "EVERY DOLLAR BACK" t=9.0s into the cut
FACT DISCIPLINE: no price, no bundle, no discount, no shipping claim, no stock count,
           no review count, no percentage anywhere on screen. product_facts §6.
SFX: soft dropper squeeze; a light stamp on the badge; the warm bed returns and steadies
TRANSITION: hard cut on "every dollar back"
DIRECTION NOTE (VO): steady, direct, unhurried - the sell is plain and it is not
           apologized for. Say the guarantee WHOLE ("you can try Kindled risk-free.
           If your mornings aren't steadier in thirty days, you get every dollar back")
           and never clip it. "every" carries emphasis in VOICE only. No anti-sell,
           no "of course it's not magic", nothing hedged after the promise.

LAYER: ugc-pickup (reuse of the Hook A / Beat 2 pre-dawn pass) + post
SHOTS (cut order):
  1. 2.0s  the 4:00 alarm on the dark counter - SAME framing as Hook A shot 1.
           THE ALARM IS NOT DELETED THIS TIME.
  2. 2.0s  CU cold hands around a mug being REHEATED, not drunk. Pre-dawn.
  3. 2.0s  a window in early grey light, someone standing at it doing nothing
OST (post): captions; "ANOTHER 4 A.M. ALARM" t=0.5s, ~2.5s hold. Nothing else.
SFX: the alarm buzz returns, briefly, at the same level as Hook A; microwave hum
TRANSITION: hard cut on "another foggy start"
DIRECTION NOTE (VO): SOFT and NON-TERMINAL - donor parity. This is a wistful
           observation, not a warning. No urgency in the voice, no acceleration, no
           downward gravitas. Do NOT let a take drift into threat: there is no named
           consequence in this ad anywhere and that is deliberate (the donor's floor
           rests on captivity vs freedom, never on fear).

SHOTS:
  1. 4.0s  END FRAME: the Kindled bottle on the daylight counter, dropper beside it,
           counter OTHERWISE EMPTY (no organizer, no bottle shelf, no glass of water).
           Locked off. NO hand enters. Hold the full 4s + ~0.8s past the last word.
OST (post): captions to the last word; "GO SEE IF IT'S IN STOCK" t=1.5s;
           "30-DAY MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE" badge re-stamps t=2.8s; both hold to black
NO: end card, URL burn, logo animation, button graphic, arrow, or any link chrome.
SFX: the warm bed resolves out under the end frame
TRANSITION: cut to black after the hold
DIRECTION NOTE (VO): urgency WITHOUT volume. "Go see if it's in stock" is the house
           stock-check register - it is a suggestion to go look, never "tap the link"
           and never "click below" (the donor's own "Tap the shop now button below" is
           a DONOR ARTIFACT and is not transposed). "and take your mornings back" is
           the possession-restoration turn: warm, certain, and the last thing she hears.
DURATION: 4s (12 words @166.9 wpm = 4.3s)

Shot-family vocabulary (the editor's whole grammar): F1 HERO MACRO (the bench: D-1 to D-6 — the only shots allowed to hold) · F2 RITUAL (pre-dawn domestic, cold, under-lit, 1 to 2s) · F3 LIBERATION (daylight domestic, warm, 1.8 to 2s, slowing) · F4 GRAPHIC (the clock build and the two 3D inserts) · F5 PRODUCT (practical macro on a real counter, never a product plate).

The family arc IS the argument: RITUAL (the cage) → HERO (the proof) → PRODUCT (the answer) → GRAPHIC (the why) → LIBERATION (the payoff) → RITUAL again for six seconds (the cost of not moving) → PRODUCT, alone on an empty counter (the close).

• No performer, no character, no continuity of person to maintain — which removes the single largest continuity risk class this chain has carried on every prior board (wardrobe, plate, lighting, eyeline, take-matching across a long read). What replaces it is object and grade continuity, and those are the two things this audit tracks.
• The organizer is the board's spine object. It is snapped shut and shoved off the counter in Hook A, it is the crowded before-frame in Hook B, it is hesitated over in Beat 2, and it is put into a drawer at the Beat 5 climax. Same physical prop, same colour, same slot count, same kitchen, every time. It is deliberately absent from every frame after Beat 5 — including the Beat 8 pre-dawn reprise, where the alarm returns but the organizer does not, because the alarm is the cost of delay and the organizer is the thing already won.
• The grade arc is the emotional arc, and it is strictly enforced: pre-dawn cold and under-lit (1A, 1B-before, 2, and the 8-second Beat 8 reprise) · bench-lit and neutral (1C, 3's recall, 4, 6's split) · domestic daylight and warm (1B-after, 3's product, 5, 7, 9). Beat 5 is the first beat with no dark frame in it and Beat 9 ends on the warmest. An editor who intercuts a daylight clip into Beat 8 has broken the ad's argument, not just its look.
• One kitchen, three product frames. Beat 3's bottle lift, Beat 7's breakfast table and Beat 9's end frame are the same counter at the same lens height, so the product reads as living in one real home rather than in three staged setups. Hook B's after-frame is the same counter again.
• The hero bench never moves. D-1, D-2 and D-3 are one untouched tripod position — the identical frame is what makes the time-lapse evidence rather than decoration — and D-4/D-5 use the same lens and light so the split (D-6) reads as one comparison, not two clips.
• The demo is the only thing on the board permitted to hold. Every other shot is 1.8 to 2.5s. Two holds exist (Hook C's [pause] on the settled tablet, Beat 6's [pause] on the split) and both are ≤0.8s. No third hold may be added.
• Prop law held: exactly one branded object exists, the real Kindled bottle and dropper. The tablet in the glass is a generic, unbranded, competitor-category compressed tablet and is never stageable as ours. Every bottle on the Beat 2 shelf is unbranded or turned. No competitor mark is legible in any frame.
• Hook seams: all three variants exit on a hard cut out of a domestic or bench close-up with the caption track live and the bed already running, straight onto Beat 2's clock build. No variant requires a body change and no body element is variant-conditional — one body render serves all three cuts.
• Faces appear but never recur. Beat 5 shot 3 and shot 6 may contain faces; no clip exceeds ~2s, no woman appears twice, and nothing is cut as a reaction. If a viewer could name a character afterwards, the mode has been executed wrong.

• First 5s: PASS on all three variants via Fork 4 strategy 3 (hook visual asset carries before any speaker — trivially satisfied here, since there is no speaker on any beat) reinforced by strategy 1's on-screen-text layer. A: the 4:00 alarm reads at t=0, the qualifier stamp lands at t=0.3s, and the organizer is snapped shut and shoved off the counter by t≈7s. B: the crowded pre-dawn counter is legible at t=0 and the "SAME THYROID. DIFFERENT MORNING." stamp lands at t≈1.0s — this is review SOFT-2's mitigation and it makes B qualify visually before it qualifies verbally. C: the qualifier stamp lands at t=0.4s and a tablet is already sitting at the bottom of a glass by t≈2s. Donor's own verdict on this grammar: mute test extremely strong.
• Hook OST specs + word counts (VS2, ≤12 words each): A "THE 4 A.M. THYROID PILL RITUAL" (6w) ✓ · B "SAME THYROID. DIFFERENT MORNING." (4w) ✓ · C "A THYROID SUPPLEMENT TABLET" (4w) + "1 HOUR" (2w) + "STILL WHOLE" (2w) ✓. Every stamp on the whole board is ≤6 words; the caption track is phrase-chunked at 3 to 6 words so no on-screen appearance anywhere exceeds the ceiling.
• VS5 (asset survives the full 5s): A — the alarm frame runs t=0 to 1.6s, the stamp holds t=0.3 to 3.5s, and the organizer is in frame from 3.2s: continuous ✓. B — the before-frame is a single locked 5s shot with the stamp holding from 1.0s: continuous by construction ✓. C — the qualifier stamp holds t=0.4 to 3.0s and the tablet is in frame from t≈1.5s onward: continuous ✓.
• U12 scan of every viewer-visible on-screen string: 0 found, 0 fixed. Full swept inventory, all dash-free: "THE 4 A.M. THYROID PILL RITUAL" · "SAME THYROID. DIFFERENT MORNING." · "A THYROID SUPPLEMENT TABLET" · "1 HOUR" · "STILL WHOLE" · "4:00 A.M." · "+60 MIN, NO COFFEE" · "4 HOURS FROM THE LEVO" · "EVERY CAPSULE IS A GUESS" · "NOT A COMPRESSED TABLET" · "LIQUID. UNDER THE TONGUE." · "SELENIUM" · "ZINC" · "VITAMIN D3" · "ALREADY DISSOLVED" · "WITHIN WEEKS" · "THE ORGANIZER STOPS RUNNING YOUR LIFE" · "SLOW GUT. LOW STOMACH ACID." · "THE TABLETS JUST NEVER OPENED." · "TWO DROPPERS WITH BREAKFAST" · "30-DAY MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE" · "EVERY DOLLAR BACK" · "ANOTHER 4 A.M. ALARM" · "GO SEE IF IT'S IN STOCK". Remaining em/en dashes: 0. ("30-DAY", "MONEY-BACK" are compound hyphens and stay; "+" is a glyph, not a dash.) The caption track additionally carries a standing instruction: the script's two spoken em-dashes (Hook A's breath-beat and Beat 3's "Not X — it's Y") are chunk boundaries in the caption layer, never rendered characters — the review's SOFT-3 note is therefore resolved on screen even though the copy is untouched.

production_limitations.md is a sparse skeleton (<3 non-template entries) → formal YS6 cross-check silent-skipped per the file's own heuristic (and per the mini-brief: "production_limitations.md <3 entries → YS6 cross-check silently skipped"). Tool-knowledge flags applied from avatar_tool_prompt_syntax.md plus the layer routing:

1. Fork 1 rationale — this is the lightest production ask in the entire Echo chain, and the reason is structural. There is no presenter, therefore no lip-sync, no Soul ID training pass, no avatar tooling, no continuous-read quality risk, and no presenter shoot day. Run-3's S1 carried an 8:17 continuous authority read as its single largest quality risk; V2 has no equivalent exposure anywhere. The AI layer is two 3D inserts and nothing else.
2. The hero demo is REAL and cannot be generated. A rendered dissolution proves nothing — the entire persuasive weight of D-1 through D-6 is that it is a boring, checkable, physical result. Practical macro bench, no substitute, no fallback.
3. The hour is real and it is a scheduling constraint, not a shooting one. D-2 needs the camera locked and untouched for 60 continuous minutes, twice (budget two runs so a bumped tripod does not cost the day). Plan a half-day macro block in which the bench is set up first, D-2's first run starts immediately, and D-1 / D-4 / D-5 are shot on a second camera or after the interval completes. This is the only hard scheduling dependency on the board.
4. Casting constraint — hands and one mouth, no presenter. What must be cast: a woman 48 to 62 for hands only (unmanicured, unstyled, real) across the ritual, liberation-drawer, product and dose frames; and one mouth/tongue macro for D-4 (which may be the same person). What must NOT be cast: a presenter, a spokesperson, or any on-camera talent with a line. Faces in the Beat 5 liberation clips come from the licensed UGC/stock pass, not from a casting call.
5. Beat 5 needs at least five different homes. Eight clips from one location reads as a staged shoot and kills the compilation grammar. Source from the UGC/stock library first; the only Beat 5 shot that must be an in-house pickup is the drawer close (shot 8), because it needs the same organizer prop as Hook A.
6. The 3D inserts must be ONE render world. higgsfield-generate, GPT Image 2 keyframes → Seedance 2.0 image-to-video, one palette, one camera language, one re-roll budgeted each. Two independently-prompted renders that look like different products break the contrast the Reframe beat is built on.
7. Legibility gates ×3: the hero time-lapse (compose vertically on the bench, never crop from horizontal), the %DV panel at Beat 4 (flat copy-stand macro, max resolution, no glare; if the type will not hold, push in on the three named lines rather than typesetting a recreation), and the bottle label at Beat 3 (brace or push in; never substitute a rendered pack shot).
8. Anonymity and fact discipline in every frame: the tablet is unbranded, the Beat 2 shelf bottles are unbranded or turned, no competitor mark is legible anywhere, and zero invented numbers appear on screen — no price, no bundle, no discount, no shipping claim, no stock count, no review count, no percentage (product_facts.md §6). The only numbers on the board are "4:00 A.M.", "+60 MIN", "4 HOURS", "1 HOUR", "TWO DROPPERS" and "30-DAY", every one of which is either the ritual, the demo interval, the label dose or the guarantee.
9. Nothing is burned in camera. Every caption, stamp, badge and the clock build is a post layer, including Hook A's qualifier stamp.
10. Runtime discipline (the board's one real editorial risk). Delivered A 83.9s · B 83.8s · C 83.2s against an 89.7s ceiling — 5.8 to 6.5s of headroom, which is deliberate and is NOT a budget. Both holds are ≤0.8s, no third hold may be added, no shot may be extended and nothing may be added to reach 90s. This is the batch's short-form outlier and the specific named risk for this slot was drift toward its 3:00, 3:38 and 8:54 siblings. If a cut returns at 88s, something was padded — find it.
11. asset_library.md does not exist for Kindled (INVENTORY/ carries angle_library, avatars, mechanism_library, speakers_library, voc, winners). Fork 3 option 3 is therefore unavailable and the B-roll source mix is option 5 (mixed): comp-anchor-derived for the hook and demo, licensed UGC/stock for the compilation layer, practical macro for product and demo, generated for the two 3D inserts only. Declared, not silently skipped.

Totals: 32 distinct assets across 39 boarded cuts (28 shared body cuts + 5 / 2 / 4 hook cuts, so a delivered variant runs A 33 · B 30 · C 32 cuts) — 6 hero-bench macros, 5 practical product macros, 13 domestic UGC (of which ~8 licensed stock and ~9 an in-house pre-dawn/daylight pickup pass, some shared), 2 motion-graphic builds, 2 generated 3D inserts, 1 continuous caption layer, 1 sourced hero prop. Three final cuts, ONE body render (no variant-conditional body element exists).

Per-beat prompts collated above in layer-routed production syntax (LAYER / SHOTS / OST / SFX / TRANSITION / DIRECTION NOTE), per avatar_tool_prompt_syntax.md's real-shoot conventions extended with the per-layer routing this faceless mode requires and which the v2 per-beat schema does not model (v2 assumes one production tool per beat). Layer stack: practical macro bench (the hero demo, D-1 to D-6 — one session, one locked tripod, one 60-minute interval) · practical product macro (bottle, dropper, %DV panel, breakfast, end frame — one kitchen, one lens height) · UGC pickup pass (pre-dawn ritual + the organizer + the drawer + the counter receipt — hands only, one prop, two lighting states) · licensed UGC/stock (the Beat 5 liberation compilation, 5+ homes) · higgsfield-generate (two 3D inserts, one render world: GPT Image 2 keyframes → Seedance 2.0 image-to-video) · VO (cast to register anchor 2.1 as a TONE-ONLY brief, 166.9 wpm, scripted-clean, zero disfluency) · post (all captions, all stamps, the clock build, the split build, the badge, SFX, bed). There is no avatar tool on this board and no lip-sync anywhere.

VO brief, first line (review SOFT-4, carry it verbatim into casting): register anchor 2.1 "The Recovered Patient" is a TONE reference only — peer, warm, lived-it, 45 to 60, never credentialed, never prescribing. Do NOT cast or direct for her confessional-journey traits (diagnosis story, lab numbers, "for years I thought I was falling apart"). None of that exists in this script and 199 words cannot carry it. What is wanted is one woman's ordinary, certain voice over other people's kitchens.

• VS1 (B-roll density): cuts land every 1.8 to 2.5s across the whole board — far above the 1-per-10s ceiling. CONFIRMED-INTENTIONAL, donor-faithful: the donor's measured grammar is rapid-fire compilation at 1 to 2s cuts, and in a D09 compilation the footage is not B-roll interrupting a presenter, it is the primary layer. The VS1 band does not model a faceless mode — there is no talking head for B-roll to cut away from.
• VS4 (transition consistency): hard cuts everywhere with exactly one deliberate exception — the soft cut out of Beat 3 into Beat 4, placed where the donor's own pacing "slows at the mechanism". Flagged as intentional and singular; if it reads as an inconsistency in the first cut, make it a hard cut and lose nothing.
• VS6 (cross-adaptations): 4 logged in-board — Hook 1B ← Anchor C (H08 receipt structure kept; its D02 confessional narrator and body-transformation content rejected, restaged with no human in frame) · Hook 1C ← Anchor D (H07 demonstrated-form open kept; its 435s D07 scripted-authority arc rejected, and its below-winner-bar score means it is a form citation, never a performance argument) · the hero demo ← Anchor B (dissolution-time-lapse grammar kept; its EUREKA arc, child protagonist and 70%-off close rejected) · Beat 6's inserts ← Anchor E (faceless-VO anatomy-insert grammar kept; its timeline spine and scarcity close rejected).
• VS3 / VS3b: every beat cites Anchor A or logs an original-direction rationale, and every distinct cue in the asset matrix traces to an anchor or a rationale. Four declared original-direction calls: Beat 2's hesitation shot (calibrated to "every capsule feels like a guess"), Beat 5's drawer-close timing (executes review SOFT-5 visually), Beat 8's shot-for-shot reprise of the opening frames (the cheapest true picture of "another morning of the same thing"), and Beat 9's empty-counter end frame (answers a cluttered opening frame that no anchor in the set had).
• Review SOFT-1 (unreliable derived numbers): quarantined completely — no number on this board comes from the script's plan or self-audit. Named here so the package inherits the review's table and not the script's.
• Review SOFT-2 (Hook B qualifies at sentence three): mitigated visually at frame zero, as boarded. Named for the human: the copy is unchanged and the review recommended no change.
• Review SOFT-3 (Beat 3's em-dash): handled twice over — as a VO direction (read as ", but") and as a caption-chunk boundary (never rendered). Copy untouched.
• Review SOFT-4 (2.1 is tone-only): boarded into the VO brief as its first line.
• Review SOFT-5 (the Benefit climax's tail noun): mitigated by the picture, never by the copy, and explicitly not softened. Named for the human: if Zied wants the copy sharper, that is a script edit requiring a standalone re-read of the beat and the Offer's "steadier" anaphor before re-locking — it is not a storyboard change.
• Mode-novelty flag (operator-level, not a rule violation): this is the account's first fully faceless board and the chain's first D09. The no-presenter contract above is written to be executable with no in-house precedent, but the first cut should be QC'd specifically for the two failure modes this mode has: (a) a liberation clip held long enough that a woman starts reading as the speaker, and (b) the hero demo cut short for rhythm, which converts the proof back into B-roll.

1. A faceless board needs a Footage layer field, and the v2 per-beat schema actively fights it. v2's per-beat triple (Shot type / Camera / B-roll cue) presumes a presenter frame with cutaways hanging off it. In D09 there is no presenter frame, so "shot type" has no referent and "B-roll" is a category error — the footage is the A-roll. This board replaced those three fields with Shot family / cut rhythm + Footage layer (a per-beat shot list in cut order with per-shot durations) and added a five-family vocabulary (F1 to F5) whose arc is the argument. Run-3's S2 predicted this at composite level (its finding 1); V2 is the case that generalizes it: the per-beat schema should carry a layer list, not a shot type. Recommend promoting Shot family + Footage layer into avatar_tool_prompt_syntax.md as the named faceless-compilation pattern before the next D09 board.
2. When the proof is a physical demo, it needs its own section ABOVE the beats — boarding it inside a beat under-specifies it. The demo here appears in four different beats (1C, 3, 4, 6) and in two of them as a recall of footage shot once. Boarding it per-beat would have described the same six shots four times, inconsistently, and would have buried the one genuinely hard production dependency (a locked 60-minute interval) inside a hook beat. Hoisting it into a HERO MACRO DEMO section with its own shot table, bench spec and hard rules made every later reference a one-line pointer. Recommend: any board whose delivery mode is demo-carried (D09, and D02's demo variants) hoists the demo above the per-beat section by default.
3. "Headroom is not a budget" needs to be a standing line in the pause-budget block. This board delivers at 83.2 to 83.9s against an 89.7s ceiling — nearly 6s of slack, on a concept whose single named risk was length drift toward multi-minute siblings. A pause-budget block that only says "inside the band ✅" invites an editor to spend the difference. The block here states the headroom, then states explicitly that it may not be spent and what a padded cut looks like (88s). Recommend the phrasing become standard whenever headroom exceeds ~3s.
4. A same-mode anchor slot can be filled from the run's own pinned reference set — no re-query needed. S2's finding 4 asked for a reserved geometry-reference slot when a board is the account's first in a delivery mode. V2 is the account's first D09, and the run's V4 donor is also a D09 — so the slot filled itself from the pinned set, at zero rotation cost and with a genuinely better fit than a fresh query would likely have returned (it is a measured winner in the same niche family, already read in full by the Research Brief). Recommend: before reserving a same-mode anchor slot, check the run's own donor set first — a batch drawn for spine diversity frequently already contains the delivery-mode sibling the board needs.
5. Faceless is the cheapest mode in the chain by a wide margin, and that should feed batch shaping. Against Run-3's S1 (an 8:17 continuous authority read, the chain's largest quality risk) and S4 (two performers, real-shoot-only speaking half, two beat-5 renders), this board needs no presenter, no lip-sync, no Soul ID, no casting call for talent with lines, and ships three cuts off one body render. Its only hard dependencies are a half-day macro bench with a real 60-minute interval and one 3D render world. Worth recording as a batch-shaping input: when a batch needs a slot that can actually be produced quickly, a demo-shaped promise in D09 is the cheapest one available — and this one is also the highest-evidence donor in its shortlist, so cheap did not mean weak.
