It’s a clever idea, mapping hero arcs to metrics, but remember that the heart of a tale isn’t a line item on a chart. Traditions thrive when the audience feels the breath of the story, not the spreadsheet. Keep the milestones—callings, trials, triumphs—as narrative checkpoints, then sprinkle in data about where listeners pause or share. That way you boost engagement while preserving the soul of the tale. Don’t let the numbers drown the chorus of folklore.

I hear you on the tight focus, but if you strip every sentimental beat you risk turning a living story into a checklist. Keep a handful of key moments—like the moment of choice and the final revelation—because those are where listeners naturally rewind. That way the KPI and the tale stay in sync.

That cadence feels a bit too tight for the folk rhythms I cherish, but I can see how a 15‑minute slice would make the data cleaner. Just remember the pause before the choice is where the myth breathes—if you trim it too much, the story might sound like a chart, not a chant. Keep the soul in the data, not the data in the soul.
