Attention over time
Predicted viewer attention for every second, normalized to this ad's own range — the same chart every PreTestAds report gets. How to read it
What the curve says it does well
- Alex Stien earned its Creative Center placement on real-world results — the model's job here is to show which seconds carried it.
Where it slips
- The opening IS the peak: attention is highest in the first seconds and never recovers that level. That's the shape of a great thumbnail attached to nothing — the classic decay pattern of this benchmark's weakest performers.
- Predicted attention crashes at 5.1s and stays low — the spot to study for what loses the room (a slow beat, a repeated shot, dead air).

Okay, next time you do this again, I'm keeping it. Thanks man. Little does he know, I got an air tag tracking device right here so I can track it anywhere in the world straight from my iPhone. This is impossible to lose. I can also fit four to five more cars in here, store my cash in here. This is probably the best wallet I've ever owned. Go get one today.
