The Delivery Rotation
Industry term · The Attention Refresh Cycle
Why this matters
You don't need new information every few seconds — you need a new delivery of it; that's the trick that prevents decay.
Elite editors refresh how information is delivered every few seconds, even when the information itself doesn't change.

Psychological Trigger
Why it works
Attention decays on sameness of delivery, not sameness of information. Rotating the vehicle — talking head to text, text to b-roll, b-roll to graphic — refreshes attention every few seconds while the underlying point stays on track. Elite editors do this almost unconsciously.
