Voter Feedback Panel: The Results tab now surfaces all comments and "would rewatch" signals your poll voters left on each take. A colour-coded badge shows the rewatch ratio per take so you can see at a glance which opening actually hooked your audience - not just which one won.

Self-Rating for Takes: Give each take a 1-5 star gut-feel rating from the project detail screen. When two takes are neck-and-neck on votes, OpenerLab uses the star rating as the tie-breaker, so your instinct gets a vote alongside your audience's.

Hook Score Trend Chart: A new Trend tab in Hook Wins shows your composite hook score across every project you have ever created, plotted in chronological order. A rolling three-project average line reveals whether your openers are improving over time, and a stat row shows your latest, average, and all-time peak score at a glance.
