Generate 5 title + thumbnail combinations.

Video topic: {{TOPIC}}
Niche: {{NICHE}}
Target audience: {{AUDIENCE}}
Hook angle: {{ANGLE · contrarian / fear / curiosity / how-to / story}}

For each combo:
- Title (under 60 chars, includes 1 keyword + 1 curiosity element + 1 number)
- Thumbnail concept: facial expression + 3 to 4 word overlay text + visual element + colour cue
- Why this works (1 line)

Title style mix:
1. Curiosity gap ("I tried X for Y days, here's what happened")
2. Number / listicle ("7 things nobody tells you about Z")
3. Contrarian ("Stop doing X. Do this instead.")
4. Personal stake / story
5. How-to with stakes ("How to X without Y")

No clickbait you can't back up.
