Running it, start to finish
- Describe the idea, the platform and what your audience already believes.
- List honestly what you can show on camera.
- Shoot three hooks from different mechanisms and compare retention, not views.
What you get back
The output this produces, every time.
- Covers six distinct psychological mechanisms rather than twelve variations of one.
- Pairs every hook with a shootable opening frame drawn only from what you said you have.
- Flags hooks that promise more than the video can deliver, which is what produces the mid-video drop.
Getting better results
Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.
- List your real visuals. A hook whose opening frame you cannot shoot is not a hook. Being specific here is what makes the output usable today rather than aspirational.
- Test across mechanisms, not within one. Three contradiction hooks tell you almost nothing. The Pick-three selection is deliberately chosen for range.
- Believe the weakest-link note. If stakes hooks do not fit your idea, that often means the idea has no real stakes — which is worth knowing before you shoot it.
