The 3 Daily Video Formats

πŸ§ͺ Pilot Strategy Active: Before producing all formats at full volume, run a controlled 6-video pilot β€” Twinkle Twinkle in all 3 formats (Classic β†’ Learn β†’ Bedtime), then Wheels, Itsy Bitsy, and Old MacDonald in Classic. Measure retention, RPM, and conversion after 2 weeks, then scale the winning format.

The production engine picks the next format in the rotation. Batch-produce weekly so you're never scrambling.
