The man continues to hold the large white board, rotating it slightly to reveal more of its content, which is a detailed diagram labeled '$100M SCALING ACQUISITION'. He points to different sections of the board.

Why it works: The slightly longer duration of this shot allows the speaker to elaborate on the product's value, reinforcing its credibility by referencing 'our companies'. The text overlay of the disclaimer manages expectations, adding a layer of transparency and trustworthiness.
