## What the user said
- Verbatim (the request typed after /ice, relayed by the lead session): "اعمل ريلز طولي عربي من حلقة "محاولة فهم" على الجزيرة بتاريخ 28 أكتوبر 2026، "من المدرسة إلى الشارع.. جذور الاحتجاجات في فرنسا": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzPrJruvywk نزّل الحلقة بنفسك، واختار أقوى جزء فيها للريلز. الأسلوب: نفس مونتاج ريلز "محاولة فهم" على الجزيرة، بهوية البرنامج وألوانه وتوجهه، وأحسن منه كمان. المراجع: https://youtube.com/shorts/x4nwLHZUjRQ https://youtube.com/shorts/0Gb3N9OfVCI دوّر على أحدث لقطات حقيقية ورسمية مناسبة ونزّلها. الموسيقى والمؤثرات تبقى حقيقية من مكتبات، مش معمولة بالكود. ومسموحلك تنزّل أي موديل أو أداة محتاجها. ما تسألنيش ولا تستنى موافقتي في أي حاجة. كمّل لوحدك من الأول للآخر لحد الفيديو النهائي، واعمل case study للنشر على موقع Ice."

- Relayed by the lead session (Omar's standing decisions): the speaker or guest stays lit; darkening, silhouette and the red circle are for the people being talked about; every element ties to the line that justifies it; the finishing layer (motion blur, blur, old film texture, glow, grade) is measured from the reference and applied for a reason; no code-made music or SFX; pick the track closest to the reference by measurement and leave the 2 closest alternatives in the delivery note; 1080p download; all heavy files on D; the official AJ reel of this episode is excluded on purpose.

| film_type | podcast edit type, "episode to reels" pipeline (one reel) | decision D-01 |
| goal | The viewer stops on the missile vs high schools contrast, understands the "no extra money for education" argument and its critics, and wants the full episode | decision D-16 |
| message | Critics in France reject the state's claim that it has no extra money for education, since it found resources to raise military spending (the guest's analysis; takeaway in plan/concepts.md, r2) | decision D-06, D-12 |
| audience | Arabic-speaking social viewers across the Arab world, scrolling a muted or sound-on feed, Al Jazeera's digital audience | decision D-03 |
| market | Pan-Arab (MENA and diaspora) | decision D-03 |
| platform | Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Facebook Reels | decision D-03 |
| aspect | 9:16, 1080x1920, 25 fps (the source rate) (derived from platform) | decision D-03 |
| duration | 55 to 70 s: the chosen argument needs about 58 s of speech; the references run 55 to 59 s | decision D-04 |
| language | Arabic: speech as recorded (guest in Modern Standard Arabic, host's hook in Egyptian Arabic); on-screen words in Arabic, verbatim from the speech | prompt + decision D-05 |
| topic | Current affairs: the 2026 French student protests, public debt, education funding vs military spending | prompt |
| must_include | M1 to M6 (ledger below) | prompt |
| must_avoid | Code-made music or SFX; the official AJ reel of this episode; darkening or silhouetting the speaker; elements with no reason in the speech | prompt + lead session |
| brand_inputs | Al Jazeera house font "Al Jazeera" Bold and Regular from the official platform aljazeera360.com (`ice/assets/official/fonts/`); programme colours measured from the two references (`ice/assets/brand-sheet.json`) | decision D-07 |
| real_brand | Al Jazeera, programme "محاولة فهم" (Mohawalat Fahm); named; official sites aljazeera.net (unreachable from this network), aljazeera360.com (reachable); owner status: not owner (unofficial showcase) | prompt + decision D-07 |

| commercial_use | unknown (showcase for the Ice site; no noncommercial-only source is used) | decision D-10 |
| mode | auto. The "don't ask" words reached this session inside a lead session's brief, which Ice does not count as a waiver; the stage 01 questions were therefore written out (`ice/plan/stage01-questions.md`) and, in a session where no one answers, each took its recommended option | router; D-02 |
| deliverables | Master 9:16 1080x1920 MP4; captions file (SRT) of the spoken words; EDL; retimed transcript; case study for the Ice site | decision D-11 |

## Intent
A guest-led argument reel in the programme's presenter-promo grammar: open on the host's sharpest line (the ballistic missile against the high schools), let the guest build the case (debt, "no money", schools), and land the payoff (money was found for the army when the Ukraine war began), signed with the programme title.

## Business brief (section 10; a request not about a business writes "not a business: <reason>" here instead of the table)
not a business: an editorial reel cut from a news programme; the "brand" is a broadcaster's programme identity, handled as a real brand for look and type only (`ice/assets/BRAND-MATERIAL.md`). No product, price or offer is promoted.

| Programme colours | Crimson disc, coral pins, white and silver type | measured from the references (the programme's own output) | measured |
| Programme title "محاولة فهم" | Sign-off, as both references end | set in the house font with kashida, as the references do | to build at 07 |
| Al Jazeera logo | Not used: the AJ Arabic version of the promo (ref-a) carries no logo bug; the episode footage carries its own corner logo | not needed | not needed |
