PRACTICE BRIEF
Use your own 45-second product demo. At 00:08, open a lid; at 00:21, show its latch; at 00:34, explain a limitation. Ask each workflow to identify the latch demonstration and the limitation separately. Score correct event, usable boundaries and factual description as pass/fail. This is a proposed exercise, not a reported benchmark. Select the workflow with fewer consequential misses, even if its prose sounds less polished.
