How to use it

Length is the best-evidenced lever for completion. Cut every short video to the shortest version that still delivers the one idea, and test two lengths. There's no source for "viewers decide in three seconds".

How sure we are

P Evidence: promising. Good studies, but small or few. Use it and keep checking.
