  • 03 · VELOCITY MONTAGE (00:15 – 00:27 · 34%): Multi-State Feature Proof on Downbeat Cuts — Compresses 3–4 secondary workflows into rapid visual proof without narration drag. (Camera: Fast (2.2s avg shot) matched to 122 BPM transients)
  • 04 · PAYOFF & LOCKUP (00:27 – 00:35 · 23%): Grafana Brand Lockup & Availability CTA — Holds final URL and launch status cleanly for 8s so viewers on X stop scrolling and click the link. (Camera: Clean center lockup with subtle radial luminance decay)
