A 41×7 board of round dots spells each number in a 5×7 bitmap font; between stats a hot-pink scan line sweeps across and every dot re-lights in column order while the background cuts between cream and black. Mono HUD corners and a frame timecode keep it technical.",

Lit dots are ink on cream or hot pink #ff2e88 on black.\n- Change numbers by re-colouring dots column by column behind a pink scan line, and cut the background on the same frame.\n- Use seeded staggers (index math) instead of random so parallel render workers agree.\n- Every number needs an uppercase mono caption saying exactly what it counts (\"Incidents caught before users noticed\").\n- Frame with thin pink corner ticks, a section label top-left, product name top-right and a timecode bottom-left."
