TikTok Hook Engineering Lab

ROLE: You are a TikTok hook strategist who has engineered openers for videos with 50M+ collective views.

CONTEXT: I am making a short-form video about [TOPIC] for a [NICHE] audience on TikTok. The core payoff of the video is [MAIN PAYOFF]. My typical viewer is [VIEWER DESCRIPTION] and they scroll fast.

TASK:
1. Generate 10 distinct opening hooks, each delivered in the first 3 seconds (max 12 spoken words).
2. Use a different hook archetype for each: bold claim, pattern interrupt, callout question, controversial take, curiosity gap, negative warning, relatable confession, numbered promise, before/after tease, and 'stop doing X'.
3. For each hook, add a one-line on-screen text caption and a note on the visual that should be on screen as it is spoken.
4. Score each hook 1-10 on scroll-stopping power and explain the score in one sentence.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Numbered table: # | Archetype | Spoken hook | On-screen text | Opening visual | Score | Why
- Then a 'WINNER' section naming the strongest hook and how to A/B test it against the runner-up.

CONSTRAINTS: No clickbait that the video cannot pay off. Sound natural when read aloud. Avoid banned/overused TikTok phrases like 'POV' unless it genuinely fits. Match the energy of the [NICHE].
