   Hook — Why this show exists

   Producer question: Is the thesis clear enough to pitch upstairs in one sentence?

   A flagship build, a global supply line, and a workforce story — in one unscripted season.

   Season 1 follows Pleet3D as it stages what aims to be a U.S.-first 3D-printed elementary school (unconfirmed: “America’s first” pending independent confirmation) while running portfolio arcs in Vietnam sourcing, AI/web builds, regulatory advocacy, and trades-and-STEM craft.

   • Logline is above the fold on the home hero.
   • 33 producer-ready topic arcs map the season portfolio.
   • Concept artwork is labeled honestly until production photography lands.

2. Step 2~1 min

   Open format →

   Format — Can we program this?

   Producer question: Does the format fit a digital-first slate with broadcast optionality?

   10 × ~20–30 min unscripted / reality-documentary hybrid.

   Serialized season-long thesis with self-contained episodic arcs. YouTube long-form primary; short-form clips; FAST/streaming and linear optionality. Multi-state principal photography (OK/NY/CA + international swings by tier).

   • Season order locked at 10 episodes (aligned to Budget Tier Options).
   • Episode arcs named for Season 1 bible.
   • Visual style & sizzle section defines the Liquid Glass look.

3. Step 3~0.75 min

   Open cast →

   People — Who carries the show?

   Producer question: Are leads and ensemble consent-safe and story-clear?

   Two on-camera leads + consent-gated ensemble.

   Lawrence Gene anchors the founder/inspirational throughline. Kayla Lee carries trades-and-STEM craft. Full profiles ship only after Zoho Sign consent; Team & Culture humanizes the crew without diagnosis theater.

   • Cast section is explicitly a teaser until consents land.
   • Team & Culture is anonymized by default.
   • No medical or private detail in public bios.

4. Step 4~1.5 min

   Open risks →

   Risk & money — Will it hold?

   Producer question: Are risks priced, mitigated, and monetization dual-tracked (pitch vs planning)?

   Risk register + confidence meter + three budget tiers + dual monetization bases.

   Production contingency band 12–18% BTL (single-sourced modeling input). Standard tier books 17.20% effective season contingency. Monetization holds a 1.30× SVOD hard floor and separates 4.00% pitch vs 3.00% planning lead→buyer rates. Confidence meter surfaces overall go/no-go posture without fake precision.

   • Risk heatmap: likelihood × impact for eight register rows.
   • Budget: Lean $2.58M / Standard $7.25M / Premium $19.5M per season (Finance-final).
   • Quantitative claims route to /citations Verification Log.

   Toolkit — Leave with proof

   Producer question: Can I walk into a greenlight room with a one-pager and the full pack?

   Producer Toolkit: Quick-Scan + Why This Series Matters + citations + sample episode + budget tiers.

   Download the Producer Quick-Scan from the hero or Pitch kit. Full toolkit adds the narrative PDF (neurodiversity + revolutionary construction + global supply chain), citations pack, sample episode outline, and budget tier brief. Video surfaces remain labeled Concept / Placeholder until talent assets land.

   • Quick-Scan already live at /api/export?section=quick-scan.
   • Why This Series Matters PDF live at /api/export?section=why-this-series-matters.
   • No fabricated testimonials — placeholders labeled if shown.

If the path answered go/no-go questions cleanly, next step is a development conversation — not a content rewrite.
