What the Card Spotlights
- Framing, scarcity, and social proof in real time.
- Spotting familiar levers when candidates appeal to likability, authority, or consistency.
- Tracking repetition and visual cues as candidates repeat a point or gesture for emphasis.
Each square ties a tactic you see on stage back to a lever of persuasion, making it easier to recognize how influence is constructed in plain sight.
