- 'Edit too soon, not too late' is default UCB teaching — leave room to return.
- Organic-discovery schools pace slower intentionally — TJ & Dave's scenes routinely run 8-10 minutes.
- Standard Harold beat-length benchmarks: first-beat scenes 2-4 min, second-beat 2-3 min, third-beat 1-2 min. Modern teams vary widely.
