Full feature not watched. WORK_DERIVED comes only from legal public synopsis; GENERAL_TEMPLATE is craft tooling — not this title’s unique hit DNA. HYPOTHESIS needs audience validation. Chart rank is not causal proof of one mechanism. Sources: Title search hit Wikipedia page “Ice Age: Collision Course”; human must confirm same title.
From 1199-char legal synopsis: 5 WORK_DERIVED facts; emotion/payoff remain hypothesis/unknown.

Transferable mechanisms (select for original)
Work-cued mechanisms ≠ proof of unique hit DNA. General templates may be used alone — label GENERAL_TEMPLATE.
Opening anomaly work_cued
Open on anomaly/visual jolt that forces a question.
Migrate anomaly-open craft, not signature images.
Information-gap suspense work_cued
Audience and character know different facts; danger builds before reveal.
Do not copy protected puzzles or signature set-pieces.
Value conflict work_cued
Two incompatible values force a moral choice.
Abstract value clash OK; no copied moral-puzzle text.
Underdog counter general_template
Weaker party mounts a visible counter under pressure.
Migrate power structure, not protected plot.
Time pressure general_template
A countdown or closing window forces immediate choice.
Transfer mechanism only — no original set-pieces.
Identity reversal general_template
A public identity or power relation flips.
Abstract identity mechanics OK; specific titles/set-pieces not.
