- Sophie Leroy + 2009 citation is a real anchor — earns trust immediately, not a vague 'studies show'
- The parking-note fix is concrete and actionable; viewer can do it in 30 seconds — high utility
- Technical validity is solid but slightly softened: script says 'a 30-second parking note clears residue' — Leroy's actual finding is a ready-to-resume plan reduces (not eliminates) residue; the storyboard corrects this ('eases'), but the script overclaims slightly
- Hook is sharp and personal — 'A piece of your last task is still running' lands without hype
- Scene durations are tight and disciplined; one idea per scene holds throughout
- Kinetic text scene (s4) with 'the fog' highlight is a strong visual payoff for an abstract concept
- The 'willpower won't flush them' line in the script is punchy but the storyboard softens it to 'pushing through won't quiet it' — the script version is stronger and more accurate to Leroy's framing; worth aligning
- No fluff, no fake urgency, no condescension — anti-slop standard met
- 28 seconds total runtime is lean; could support one more beat unpacking *why* closure releases the loop (brief neuroscience of open-loop anxiety) without padding

Script
hookA piece of your last task is still running.
"A piece of your last task is still running."
"Psychologist Sophie Leroy calls it attention residue."
"When you switch before finishing, cognitive threads from that task stay active in working memory."
"They compete quietly with whatever you're doing now. That's the fog."
"Willpower won't clear it. Closure will."
"Before you switch, write one line: where you stopped and what comes next. That note tells your brain it's safe to let go."

17:10:12revising (QA 8.4/10): Sophie Leroy + 2009 anchor is the right move — named researcher, named year, not vague 'studies show'; The parking note is a concrete, testable action; utility score earns its 9; Script is tight at ~110 words of narration — no dead weight, no filler transitions
17:09:56fact-check flagged: 'The residue clears' overstates the research. Leroy's work (and follow-up studies on ready-to-resume plans) shows that a transition plan *reduces* attention residue, not that it fully clears or eliminates it. Saying 'the residue clears' is misleading.; 'A 30-second parking note' — the specific 30-second duration has no basis in Leroy's published research. Her studies demonstrate that making a structured transition plan helps, but no timed duration is established in the literature. This figure is unverifiable and should be removed or clearly framed as a practical rule of thumb, not a research finding.; 'Stay active in working memory' is technically imprecise. Leroy's model describes attention residue in terms of cognitive resource allocation and task-related thoughts competing for attention — not specifically 'working memory' in the technical cognitive-science sense. Using 'working memory' risks being misleading to informed viewers.; 'Closure signal' is not Leroy's terminology. Her research uses 'ready-to-resume plan' for the intervention. 'Closure signal' conflates her work with Zeigarnik-effect framing (open loops, closure) which is a distinct body of research. Mixing the two without attribution could mislead viewers about what Leroy actually found.; 'Willpower can't flush them' is presented as a finding, but Leroy's research does not directly test willpower as a variable. This is an inference or extrapolation beyond the cited research and should not be stated as a factual result.
