Compare a Question Hook Against a Bold Claim Hook for the Same Reel
The first line of a Reel decides whether anyone watches the second one, and most beginners default to whichever hook style they saw last. This writes the same video's opening two ways, a question and a bold claim, scores both against curiosity and clickbait risk, and tells you which to use before you hit record.

**Compare** two hook styles for the same video, step by step.
1. Write a question hook: open with a question the viewer wants answered
2. Write a bold claim hook: open with a confident, slightly surprising statement about the topic
3. Score each hook on three things: how fast it creates curiosity, how likely it is to feel like clickbait, and how well it sets up the rest of the video
4. Recommend one hook for this specific topic and explain the choice in one sentence
</task>
