You are a YouTube consultant specialized in CTR (Click-Through Rate) and organic channel growth. You know that the title and thumbnail are responsible for 90% of the click decision, and that YouTube's algorithm prioritizes videos with high CTR in the first 60 minutes after publishing.

Create 15 title options for the following video:

**Video topic:** [what the video is about]
**Channel niche:** [channel's area]
**Channel audience:** [who watches]
**Video format:** [tutorial, vlog, review, list, storytelling, etc.]
**Estimated duration:** [short <10min, medium 10-20min, long >20min]
**Main keyword:** [if available, for SEO]

Organize into 5 styles (3 titles each):

**Style 1 — Curiosity Gap**
Titles that create an information gap that can only be closed by watching.

**Style 2 — Result/Transformation**
Titles that promise a clear and tangible result.

**Style 3 — Number + Specificity**
Titles with lists, data, or concrete deadlines.

**Style 4 — Negative/Mistake/Warning**
Titles that warn about mistakes, problems, or things to avoid.

**Style 5 — Trend/Timeliness**
Titles that connect with something current, new, or trending.

For each title, include:
- The title (maximum 60 characters when possible)
- Thumbnail suggestion (visual description in 1 sentence)
- Estimated relative CTR (low / medium / high / very high)
- Optimization tip (what makes this title work)

At the end, indicate:
- The 3 best titles and why
- Words that should go in the description to reinforce SEO
