Insider confession ad, 60-180 s. A school-side insider (attendance clerk, school nurse, bus driver, truancy officer, pediatric sleep nurse) with her face hidden confesses what she sees every school morning and which parents get wrongly blamed, then tells one mom's story through to the fix.

Whistleblower — beat sheet + line rules

Runtime 60-180 s; Test 1 target 90-150 s (≈ 310-560 spoken words at 3.4-3.8 wps narration). Percentages are of runtime; beats are pack-line ranges, never mid-sentence. Line numbers below are for a ~120 s cut.

# Beat % Lines Speakers Job Line rules
1 Confession hook 0-8 1-3 INSIDER (or [Q] asks, INSIDER answers) An against-interest admission that names the mom by a symptom Line 1 ≤12 words, in action, no backstory. The admission is about her own system ("we write up the wrong parent"), never a sin or taboo. Role clear by line 2 (said or in title:). No product
2 What I see every morning 8-28 4-12 INSIDER Prove the pattern from her side of the counter Concrete counts/times are fine in video ("eight twenty", "third slip this month"), each traceable to VOC or the stake bank. The moms carry it: robes, car keys, apologising. Failed solutions are what the moms tell her, generic (louder alarms, phone across the room, lights on, taking the phone away), never brand names, never bed shakers
3 The wrongly-blamed parent 28-50 13-24 INSIDER (+MOM 1 line) One mom; the blame lands on HER One specific mom, described by what the insider saw, not a name. The cost is concrete: a letter in her name, a meeting, the CPS warning, her husband/ex using the tardies. Quote her verbatim VOC line once (in MOM's voice or quoted by the insider). Stake must be caused by the mornings
4 The real cause 50-65 25-30 INSIDER Root cause; clear her ≤4 lines. Fish's ruled root-cause line verbatim (sound doesn't reach a deep-sleeping brain). One line that clears her ("it was never her"). One line on how she knows (the nurse told her / she sees the same kids every year / her own son). No lecture, one picture
5 What works 65-88 31-40 INSIDER (+MOM or KID 1 line) Mechanism + product + the payoff on her Touch gets through; silent to everyone else; keeps going until he turns it off (Fish's ruled line; "gets stronger" is a product fact, add it as its own line if needed). Product named once here. Payoff = the insider sees that mom cleared: no slip, on time, the letter stopped; optionally the kid says he set it himself
6 Offer 88-100 41-43 INSIDER (or MOM) CTA Product name + 60-night wake-up guarantee, spoken; the insider's closing wish to have fewer letters to sign; end card (optional, --end-card; off by default per Fish 10-06). No price in VO
