├─ Serviceable Addressable Market (SAM): $450M (Video Analysis Automation)
└─ Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM): $25M (CODITECT with existing pipeline)
Revenue Potential:
├─ Year 1: $3.74M (28 customers)
├─ Year 2: $9.29M (65 customers)
└─ Year 3: $15M ARR (100 customers, 73% gross margin)
Customer Economics:
├─ Implementation Fee: $50,000 (one-time)
├─ Platform Fee: $8,000/month ($16/video for 500 videos)
├─ Customer Lifetime Value: $500K over 3 years
├─ Customer Payback Period: 11 days ✓ (target: 20 days)
└─ First-Year ROI for Customer: 3,290%
2. The Problem: Enterprise Video Processing Crisis
2.1 Market Context
The enterprise video content management market is experiencing explosive growth, projected to reach $35.8 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 8.6%[1]. However, a critical gap exists between video creation and video comprehension.
Key Market Drivers[2]:
- Remote/hybrid work adoption (permanent shift)
- Video as primary communication medium (replacing email)
- Compliance requirements (accessibility, documentation)
- Knowledge retention challenges (tribal knowledge loss)
- Training effectiveness demands (measurable ROI)
2.2 The Manual Processing Bottleneck
Current State (Mid-Market Enterprise Processing 500 Hours/Month):
Manual Process Breakdown:
├─ Analyst watches 60-min video: 60-90 minutes
├─ Note-taking and timestamping: 45-60 minutes
├─ Transcript review and correction: 30-45 minutes
├─ Slide extraction (manual screenshots): 15-20 minutes
├─ Report writing and formatting: 30-45 minutes
└─ Total Time per Video: 3-5 hours
Cost Analysis (500 videos/month):
├─ Labor: 2,000-2,500 hours/month
├─ FTE Required: 10-15 analysts (@ $75/hour)
├─ Monthly Cost: $150,000-$187,500
├─ Annual Cost: $1.8M-$2.25M
└─ Opportunity Cost: Delayed insights, missed opportunities
Consequences:
- 3-6 month backlogs for video processing
- 85% of video content never analyzed (per industry estimates)
- Zero searchability in 10,000+ video libraries
- Compliance failures due to incomplete documentation
- Knowledge loss when analysts leave
2.3 Failed Alternatives
Organizations have attempted various solutions, all with critical flaws:
| Approach | Limitations | Adoption Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Manual transcription services | Expensive ($2-3/min), no visual analysis | 15% |
| Basic transcription tools | No synthesis, no frame extraction | 30% |
| Generic AI tools | Not enterprise-ready, security concerns | 5% |
| In-house development | 12-18 month timeline, high technical debt | <1% |
Result: 95% of enterprises still rely on manual processing or simply abandon video analysis altogether.
3. The Solution: AI-Powered Video-to-Insight Pipeline
3.1 Platform Architecture
Our platform transforms 60-minute videos into structured insights in 10 minutes through five integrated stages:
Input → Processing → Analysis → Synthesis → Output
Stage 1: Intelligent Ingestion
├─ YouTube URL or file upload (MP4, AVI, MOV)
├─ Format validation and metadata extraction
└─ Automatic resolution normalization
Stage 2: Multi-Modal Processing
├─ Audio Track: Whisper API transcription ($0.36/hour)[3]
│ └─ 92%+ accuracy with word-level timestamps
├─ Visual Track: Smart frame extraction
│ ├─ Scene change detection (FFmpeg)
│ ├─ Slide stability detection (2s threshold)
│ ├─ Text density analysis (edge detection >5%)
│ └─ Content deduplication (pHash + SSIM)
└─ Result: 85 unique frames (vs 720 naive sampling = 88% reduction)
Stage 3: Vision Analysis (Claude Sonnet 4.5)[4]
├─ Batch processing (5 frames per API call)
├─ Content classification (slide/diagram/person/text)
├─ OCR extraction with confidence scores
├─ Description generation (1-2 sentences)
└─ Cost: $0.004/image = $0.34 for 85 frames
Stage 4: Multi-Agent Synthesis (LangGraph)[5]
├─ Topic Identification Agent (50K tokens)
├─ Key Moment Extraction Agent (30K tokens)
├─ Multimodal Correlation Agent (15K tokens)

├─ Vision Analysis: $0.34 (85 frames @ $0.004)
├─ Synthesis: $0.15 (50K tokens @ Claude pricing)
└─ Total: $0.85 baseline → $0.49 optimized
Platform Costs (Monthly):
├─ Infrastructure: $70 (Railway MVP) → $500-2000 (AWS production)
├─ API Overhead: Variable based on volume
└─ Support & Monitoring: Minimal (automated)
Customer Pricing:
