Another useful video to have as a reference. I look forward to the inner cover video and your plan for the bottom too. I suppose the bottom depends a bit on how you expect to use the NUC.
I use a divided bottom board and start two nucs in one of these. As they grow I add another of these boxes. Then I will add a queen excluder and honey super as needed. So I end up with 16 brood frames gathering honey. At the end of honey flow I remove honey and put the 2 new colonies in their own 9 frame box and move them... I hope that answers your question.
