Opener cut
Split a product-story opening into sentences and see which one crosses a 45-word budget or starts with filler.
What does opener cut show?
It splits your opening on sentence boundaries, counts words as they add up, and marks the sentence that pushes past 45 words. It also flags stock starts such as “in today’s world” and “we’re excited.”
Paste an opening to split it.
How to use it
Paste the first paragraph or two.
The first sentence that can stand alone should sit before the budget line.
Delete or move any sentence marked as filler. Those are warmups.
If the point lands after the budget, move that sentence up. Do not just delete until the count looks small.
Questions
Why 45 words?
That is one or two sentences — enough for a product, a person, and a job. Past that you are in the next beat of the story.
What if I only have one sentence?
You will see one row. If it is under the budget and names the job, you may already be done.
Does it rewrite the paragraph?
No. It shows where the cut is. You decide what the first sentence should say.
