what this is

The only talking head of the four. One woman tells her own story to her phone for six minutes: four things she tried that did not work, the pool on her anniversary, what the trichologist told her, the leave-in, and the first comb-through. The spoken text is the locked script word for word.

who is on camera

A real frame of a real woman from the character bank (p10796d5f, about 52-57, long dark hair worn down, her own lamp-lit living room), lip-synced on InfiniteTalk on our own rented RTX 5090s. Nothing on screen is generated from words: 78 s of the ad is real footage, seven of the thirteen clips the client's own.

voice

Belt slot w50-phoilexmom (voice_id jx209p68zsy0eu7n6mvn, inworld-tts-2), the woman 50+ warm-testimonial slot Kalp approved on 2026-11-03.

Runtime is 6.0 minutes, not the 6.8 in the script record. The script record estimated 3.1 words a second; this belt voice reads faster. The take was slowed 0.92x, pitch-safe, to bring it from 228 words a minute into the house 180-210 band. Nothing was cut and no word changed.
0.89x of the donor, carried in from the script. The donor's $2,000 custom-device block, its 30-day guarantee, its discount and its two free gifts have no Ebb version and were cut on purpose, which puts the port outside the 0.9-1.1 beat_fidelity band.
The donor's own transcript has a hole, and we read it as written. QuietLab's line is "I thought it was something ended." - a whisper drop. Ours reads "I thought it was something for kids." It is at 0:57. Flagged rather than repaired, per the batch standard.
The presenter's face was NOT swapped, and both image accounts are why. There is no WaveSpeed key on this host at all, and fal answers 403 "User is locked. Reason: TOP_UP." at a balance of -0.85. She is a real woman from our character bank in her own room, so nothing reads as generated, but her likeness is real. The swap can still be run on the finished mp4 later for about $0.05 without re-rendering a second of lip-sync. Reasoning in cast/CAST.md.
Two product beats lost their planned shot to the same locked accounts. "Watch this" and "it also mists like this" were going to be a new take of her holding the bottle. They run on the client's own footage of the Tonic misting instead.
No generated footage, anywhere. $0 of the batch's $5 generation cap was used. The library has no microscope or hair-surface shot (0 hits), so the two mechanism beats run on real wet-strand and comb footage.
