## Watch out

- Every number on a card is a real one, readable at phone size, and the receipt lands on the word that claims it. (practitioner; Director Chair measurement of a published short, Oct 2026)

### Any chat model

```
Give me an edit brief: where it goes on the timeline, the exact settings, and what to check before export, for a short video about [your product], for [your audience]. The technique is receipts in the platform's own interface: proof that looks like something the viewer has seen on their own phone. How it works: a card of the earlier post floats in the top fifth of the frame, its comment counter climbing as he says the number. It is right for: results, social proof, a comment or message call to action. Every number on a card is a real one, readable at phone size, and the receipt lands on the word that claims it. Measured on the reference: 2,382 comments on 173,000 plays, 1.4 percent, at 10.3 times the median of the account's other clips. Be concrete: numbers, seconds and settings, no theory. Ask me one question first if something you need is missing.
