Kek, I may need to rewrite my book's opening to have a janitor cleaning the floor. It's a provocative line apparently.

Just take all this story arc, pinch point, and other plotting advice with a huge grain of salt. They give you a mental model of one way a story can be told but are not that meaningful at the end of the day in my view beyond helping you troubleshoot. Book's are read (and written) chapter to chapter, with a few inversion/escalation points along the way- the last thing you want is a really artificial feeling sequence of events to fit some arbitrary theoretical target.
