🎯 Stage assignment
Build the master project template in CapCut (9:16, caption style, hook text box, sound effects) and edit one video with it in 15 minutes.
Then: the cut-rhythm audit, the muted-watch test (six questions), and the export checklist.
It is done when the template is saved, the edit takes under 15 minutes, all six muted-test questions answer "yes", and the export carries no watermark.
