Faceless YouTube

Topic: {{topic}}

I'm researching this for a 7 to 10 minute faceless YouTube video aimed at {{audience}}. The angle is {{angle}}.

Pull 6 to 10 reputable sources covering:
- the core story or claim
- 2 surprising specific details with dates and numbers
- 1 counter-narrative
- 1 expert quote with attribution

For each source: title, publisher, date, URL, and a 2-sentence summary of what it gives me. Skip listicles, content farms, and AI-generated articles.

Write a 1,200-word YouTube narration script.

Topic: {{topic}}
Angle: {{angle}}
Tone: {{e.g. documentary, sardonic explainer, true-crime tense}}
Length target: 7 to 8 minutes spoken at a brisk pace.

Sources to draw from (cite specifics, never fabricate):
"""
{{paste perplexity research}}
"""

Structure:
- 0:00 Hook: open with the most specific, vivid moment from the sources. No "in this video".
- 0:20 Stakes: why this matters in one line.
- Body: 4 to 5 beats, each opening with a sharp transition. Concrete numbers and names, not generalities.
- Retention beat every 60 seconds: a pattern interrupt, surprising fact, or rhetorical pivot.
- Close: a single line that lands the takeaway. No "subscribe" outro in the script.

Format as plain prose with [B-ROLL: …] tags every 8 to 12 seconds for the editor.
