The pre-script gauntlet:
— Say your hook to a friend who didn't ask. Do they say "wait, what?" or "okay"?
— Post it as a text-only line somewhere. Does anyone reply to argue?
— If neither, the script is doomed no matter how good the body is.
Most creators perfect the body and bolt on a hook last. That's backwards. The hook decides if anyone reaches the body at all.
Test first. Agree or fight me?

Test your hook before you write the script, or you've built a house on sand.
