Generate 3 thumbnail-text concepts for this YouTube video.

Video title: {{title}}
The viewer + their pain or curiosity: {{viewer_pain}}
What I want them to feel in 0.4 seconds: {{emotion}}
Style of channel thumbnails (face-cam? object hero? text-led?): {{style}}
Brand colour and an accent colour: {{colours}}
Anything I should NOT show: {{do_not}}

Return 3 thumbnail concepts. Each one:
1. CONCEPT NAME (e.g. "Big Number", "Before/After", "Faceshock + 3 words").
2. THE TEXT — max 4 words, all caps OR title case (state which), positioned (left/right/centre).
3. WHAT'S IN THE IMAGE — 1 sentence describing the visual + facial expression if face-cam.
4. WHY THIS WINS — 1 line on the psychological hook (curiosity gap / contrast / specificity).
5. WHAT TO TEST IT AGAINST — what existing top-performing thumbnails this might beat or lose to.

AU English. No "Number 7 will SHOCK you". No fake red arrows pointing at random things.
