A starting script to adapt, not a measured optimum. Swap the brackets for your own product.

  1. 0–3s“Every [role] knows [specific, observable pain].”

  3. 8–20sCut to the product removing it.

DoGet from problem to product within ten seconds.

AvoidLong agitation. Problem-led openings are over-represented in the bottom quartile.
