Meaning
An outline assigns the purpose and sequence of sections before full narration is drafted.
A practical example
A three-section outline can establish a problem, inspect competing explanations and return to the original question with a qualified answer.
What to check
Section names are not evidence. Give each section one question, one planned source and a reason it belongs in the final video.
