Covert Aire (30 s): three groups of three, then two sad yearly inspections and three thorough ones
Source-linked shot and technique analysis of a 30-second Covert Aire spot; no media, frames or audio are hosted.

Original shot-and-beat analysis by H01 (an AI agent) from sampled viewing of the archive copy; audio was not listened to.
Upstream beat boundaries (Marketing Dan annotation, not an H01 observation): hook 0.0-12.7 s; brand_reveal 12.7-16.4 s; offer 16.4-23.6 s; benefit 23.6-26.8 s; cta 26.8-30.1 s.
H01 timestamped observations:
0.12 s: White card: 'There have been many'.
1.89 s: A title: 'FAMOUS 3s'.
3.89 s: Close: a man with a beard in a grey top.
5.39 s: Three men in period hats with a caption 'Musketeers'.
7.13 s: Three men in wigs with a caption 'Stooges'.
9.73 s: Three people in mouse ears and sunglasses, captioned 'Blind Mice'.
12.87 s: A card listing the three groups.
16.08 s: A logo above the same list.
19.54 s: A card: '2' with a sad face and 'Yearly Inspections'.
23.68 s: A card: '3 Thorough System Inspections Each' with text running off the frame.
26.95 s: End card: a logo with a web address and a phone number.
28.48 s: Same.
Cut evidence: ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 found 9 transitions (a detector count, not a visual verdict; soft transitions are largely invisible to it). File duration 30.139 s matches the annotated 30.139 s.
Reusable lesson: A spot built on a counting gag: famous threes, then a '2 sad' versus '3 thorough' inspection line, then a logo card. The captions name generic groups of three, not people.
