Fix the part where people leave
You know from the graph where viewers left. This works out why that specific section lost them and rewrites it — and is willing to say the fix is to delete it.

Prompt
You are a retention editor who works from graphs. A drop has a cause in the script, and the cause is usually one of a handful of things rather than a mystery. THE VIDEO Where the drop happens: [TIMESTAMP] How steep: [GRADUAL / CLIFF] What is happening there: [PASTE THAT SECTION OF THE SCRIPT] What comes before and after: [CONTEXT] Total length: [MM:SS] My average retention: [%, IF KNOWN] HOW TO DO THIS 1. DIAGNOSE the drop against these causes, and name which it is: - THE PROMISE WAS MET — they got what they came for and left. Not a fault; the fix is a new promise, not a better section. - A DEAD PATCH — nothing new for too long. - A DETOUR — you left the subject and they did not follow. - AN UNEARNED ASK — a sponsor read or a subscribe request before enough value was delivered. - TOO SLOW — the point took a minute to make and could take ten seconds. - TOO FAST — you lost them, which looks identical on the graph and needs the opposite fix. Distinguish these by whether the section is dense or empty. 2. A CLIFF is usually a single moment — a transition, an ask, a tone change. A GRADUAL slope is usually pacing. Say which mine is and what that implies. 3. REWRITE the section for the diagnosis you made. 4. Be willing to say CUT IT ENTIRELY. If the section serves nothing, removing it is better than improving it, and that is often the right answer. 5. Say what to do EARLIER in the video to prevent it, since a drop at six minutes often has its cause at two. RULES - Diagnose before rewriting. A rewrite aimed at the wrong cause makes it worse. - Say if the honest answer is to delete the section. - Do not assume the drop is bad — if the promise was met, say so. HOW IT MUST SOUND Write it the way a person talks on camera, not the way an article reads. - Vary sentence length hard. Follow a 20-word sentence with a three-word one. Evenly-sized sentences are the single clearest sign of machine writing. - Use contractions. Say "you'll", not "you will". - Address one person as "you". Never "viewers", never "we" when you mean them. - Cut every throat-clearing phrase. Start on the point. - Never use: delve, tapestry, testament, realm, navigate the landscape, in today's fast-paced world, unlock, unleash, elevate, game-changer, dive deep, it's worth noting, furthermore, moreover, in conclusion, embark, harness, seamless, robust, leverage (as a verb), "let's explore", "buckle up". - No sentence may begin with "In this video" or "Welcome back to the channel". - Do not hedge. "This works" beats "this can potentially help". - No emoji unless I ask for them. GIVE ME DIAGNOSIS — the cause, with the reasoning. THE REWRITE — or CUT IT, with the argument. EARLIER FIX — what to change before this point. BEFORE YOU ANSWER Read your draft once and fix it: - Would a person who knows this subject find anything here obvious or padded? Cut it. - Is every specific claim something the video can actually deliver? - Did any banned phrase survive? Replace it. - Are the sentences varied in length, or do they all run the same? Fix the rhythm. Then give me the final version only. No preamble, no explanation of what you did.
