## Cover

| Asset | Source | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `hero.webp` | First-party. Rendered from `hero.source.html` (headless Chromium, 1800×1014, `cwebp -q 88`) | Original editorial composition in the Dia palette (`packages/product/styles/src/themes/dia.css`) with the site's own Inter + EB Garamond faces. Composites the four reel stills below with the three headline figures from the Insights capture. |

`hero.source.html` is the regenerable source. Its `@font-face` rules point at
`@fontsource/inter` and `@fontsource/eb-garamond` relative to the repo's
`node_modules`; resolve those to real paths (the pnpm store under
`node_modules/.pnpm`) before re-rendering. The stills it composites are
referenced by relative name from this same directory.

## Analytics capture

| Asset | Source | Transformation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `insights-14-day.webp` | First-party. Instagram Insights for the account's own `@adant.ai` profile, captured 2026-09-08 | Cropped from a 920×2000 iOS screenshot to 920×1810, removing only the status bar and the home indicator. No figure was altered. The "Interactions" tile is clipped at the right edge in the original capture, so the article cites views, net followers, viewers and the content-type split — not that tile. |

The panel covers Instagram's own 14-day window (Aug 26 – Sep 8, 2026). The
article states this explicitly: the view line sits on the floor until the end of
August, so the ten-day claim describes the active posting period inside that
window rather than the window itself.

## Reel stills

Every `reel-<shortcode>.webp` is a 960×540 still from the account's own public
Instagram reel with the matching shortcode. Three are that reel's **opening
frame** (`ffmpeg -ss 0.2`), which is what the article's hook section is about.
The desert reel (`Dc1LFH9TfKV`) is the exception: its card is the **last**
frame (`ffmpeg -sseof -0.15`), chosen editorially because its opening is a
near-duplicate of the ice reel's and the closing standoff shows the world the
reel actually builds. The article says so in the line above the grid and again
beside the same-hook comparison, so the grid never implies a shared opening it
no longer shows.

Three of the four reels are 16:9 masters that Instagram letterboxes into the
9:16 reel canvas, so their published cover images are mostly black bars; the
stills here are cropped to the video content instead. The swan reel is a native
540×960 vertical, and its still is a 540×304 band taken from the centre of the
opening frame and upscaled — the only one of the four that is cropped rather
than simply resized.

| Asset | Reel | Reported | Frame |

| `reel-Dc4ggfiPFno.webp` | [instagram.com/reel/Dc4ggfiPFno](https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dc4ggfiPFno/) | 107K views · 1.2K likes | Opening frame, 720×405 → 960×540 |

The article's claim that the first and third reels share an opening composition
is no longer checkable from the grid, because the desert card is its closing
frame. It is checkable from the reels themselves — both open on a bare foot
with a gold anklet and a red ribbon, low to the ground, one on snow and one on
sand — and the earlier opening-frame still is regenerable with
`ffmpeg -ss 0.2 -i <reel>.mp4 -frames:v 1`.

All four reels are the account's own posts, so there is no third-party rights
question here; the stills are published alongside links to the original posts.

## Evidence review — 2026-09-22

The source record does not contain the full 20-post export. Only the four
linked Reels and aggregate screenshot are preserved here. Publication dates,
individual count observation timestamps, durations, follows, and conversions
are unavailable in this record. The rounded Reel views sum to approximately
3.512M, above the aggregate screenshot's 2.898M; their windows cannot be
reconciled without the underlying exports. The quiet portion of the aggregate
line does not prove exact active posting dates. Earlier wording above describes
the original editorial interpretation, not independently verified dates.

The reported ten posts below 100K views cannot be identified from these four
selected successes. No paid-spend export, signup attribution, customer consent
record, or production-cost ledger accompanies the article. Do not cite this
record as proof of acquisition performance.

## Later public-profile observation

A separate 22 September 2026 collection now records all 66 visible grid entries
at `/research/adant-instagram-public-observation-2026-09-22.json` (with a readable
`.md` table at the same stem). It includes collaborative posts and cumulative
rounded view labels. This adds dated public observations; it does not replace
the historical screenshot or fill its missing per-post analytics. Earlier
reported card counts are retained and explicitly labeled separately.
