The structure

5-beat
skeleton.

Every script written from this template lands on the same beats, in the same order, at roughly the same running time.

  1. 01 · 6s

    hook

    Open with the single question the explainer answers, phrased in plain language. No jargon. No company name.

  2. 02 · 18s

    setup

    Define one technical concept using an everyday analogy. The analogy must be reusable across all later beats.

  3. 03 · 90s

    rising action

    Walk the viewer through how it actually works in three substeps. Each substep gets a screenshot or diagram, and one number the viewer can remember.

  4. 04 · 45s

    reveal

    Show the non-obvious implication - what changes for the user, the industry, or the threat model.

  5. 05 · 21s

    cta

    Point to the next concept worth learning. End with the original question answered in one line.
