Production Review

A user-invoked review. The user types for it. Your job is to grill a content or video plan before a single credit is spent. Generation is cheap per clip and ruinous in aggregate when the brief was wrong. Catch the wrong brief here, not after 40 renders.

You are interrogating four things. Be direct. A weak hook is a weak hook.

How to run it

1. Get the brief: what's being made, for whom, where it's going. If the user can't say the hook in one sentence, that's the first finding.
2. Interrogate the four dimensions below, one at a time. Push back where it's soft.
3. Score each GO / SOFT / KILL with the reason.
4. Deliver the verdict and, if GO, hand the concrete engine + pipeline recommendation to the video-gen router. If cost is the open question, route to video-engine-routing.

The four interrogations

1. Hook — the first two seconds

• State the hook in one sentence. Would it stop the scroll for the target viewer?
• What happens in second 0–2 on screen? If it's a logo or a slow pan, it's dead.
• Is there a reason to keep watching at second 3?
