Retention notes
- Open loop from thumbnail question 'WHY THE DOOR?' resolved at the core payoff around minute 11, matching winners' mid-video payoff placement
- Numbered list structure (reasons 1-5) matches 100% of winning structures being list-based
- First-person direct address and rhetorical questions throughout to hit winners' first_person_rate median
- Specific numbers (300 million receptors, 10-15 bpm, 30 seconds, 2-3 weeks) to match specificity feature winners score higher on
- Single mid-video product plug placed right after core payoff, single CTA reserved for the end only, matching winner CTA pattern
- Contrarian twist (reason 5: you trained this) and fear-based warning section add stakes to sustain second-half retention
