Transplant note

The shape carries: drop the viewer straight into a hard interview question mid-sentence so it sounds like a real interview, then reveal it's a practice tool. No US-specific claims in the transcript at all — the question (search feature under 100ms) is technically generic. For an AU rebuild the question would need to be the kind a Melbourne hiring manager actually asks an internationally-trained candidate, and the reveal would be Ark's interview-conversion work rather than a third-party app.

Brand fit note

The cold open is genuinely on-voice — no preamble, first line is the stimulus, which passes the 'open cold' check. But as it stands it is an ad for a third-party paid AI product (Parakeet AI), which is exactly the 'promotes a third-party paid program' case for with_changes. There is also no mechanism and no number of Ark's own — the 100ms figure belongs to the fake interview question, not to cost accounting. Rebuilt, it would have to end on Ark's own interview-conversion mechanism and carry a real figure (e.g. the '14 months' wait or 70+ placements) instead of a comment-gate to someone else's app.
