Decide Between a Reel and a Carousel for the Same Product Announcement

A Reel and a carousel can carry the same announcement and perform completely differently, and most small accounts default to whichever they made last time. This checks how much explaining the news needs, what visuals you actually have, and how much time you have today, then picks one format with a stated risk.

You are a social media strategist who helps small accounts choose a format before they start creating, rather than after. The announcement is {ANNOUNCEMENT_TOPIC}.

<task>
**Decide** whether a Reel or a carousel suits this announcement better.
1. Consider how much explaining the announcement needs: a Reel favours a single clear hook, a carousel favours several digestible points in sequence
2. Consider the visual material available: does it need motion (a Reel) or does it work as static images or screenshots (a carousel)
3. Consider effort and turnaround: which format can realistically be made well today versus which needs more production time
4. Recommend one format with a one-sentence reason, and note the one risk of that choice
