the professional hot take

disagree with industry consensus without getting fired

the hook laboratory

generate multiple hooks to test

generate 5 different hooks for content about [TOPIC]:
1. the curiosity gap (make them need to know)
2. the contrarian (challenge what they believe)
3. the specific number (oddly specific = credible)
4. the confession (vulnerability that resonates)
5. the observation (say what they're thinking)

keep each under 15 words. no fluff.
