Engineer 8 hooks that each open a precise curiosity gap and promise to close it by the end.
For each hook give:
- The line
- What exactly the viewer now wants to know
- Where in the video the gap closes
- The gap type (mystery, withheld result, surprising cause, hidden cost, unexpected winner)
Rules: the gap must be specific (not "you won't believe this"), the payoff must exist, and no clickbait that the video cannot deliver.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
