Organization alone cannot answer semantic questions
Folder systems are useful for structure, but search creates operational freedom.

Folder trees do not expose intent-level footage details.
02
Manual drills across bins grow expensive as libraries mature.
03
Critical moments remain hidden in plain folders.
