USP

Source-faithful scripts shaped around production and audience needs.

The product

Key screens: Source outline, scene script, production notes. Use a project list and editorial calendar beside a document editor. Keep original material and supporting passages in a collapsible side panel. Show outline, draft, review and approved stages. Provide tracked edits, comments, version comparisons and an export preview that reflects the final delivery format. In this product, the first view is source outline, followed by scene script and production notes.

Core functionality

1. Identify learning objective.
2. Restructure spoken narrative.
3. Draft scene directions.
4. Preserve factual content.
5. Estimate spoken duration.
6. Prepare production handoff.

Customer workflow

Collect a structured brief and source material, identify unanswered questions, approve an outline, generate a draft, verify claims, gather reviewer edits, approve a final version and export the agreed formats. Start with approved articles, lessons and production constraints and finish with reviewed script and production notes.

AI and human review

Extract and organize information, propose structure, draft prose and adapt approved content to audiences. Attach evidence to factual claims. Keep names, dates, amounts and quoted wording linked to their source. Editors resolve ambiguity and approve publication.

What the customer puts in

Approved articles, lessons and production constraints

What the customer gets

Reviewed script and production notes

Accounts and administration

Client workspaces, source permissions, editorial assignments, change history, reviewer comments, approval gates, revision allowances and export templates.

MVP scope

Begin with training publishers converting written material into video and one recurring use case. Build the first two modules: identify learning objective; restructure spoken narrative. Provide operator assistance for the third module: draft scene directions. Deliver reviewed script and production notes through a manual review queue. Perform other necessary full-scope functions manually during the pilot. Include all applicable access, accuracy and professional-review controls from the start.

After the MVP is validated

After paid pilots establish value, automate the remaining modules: preserve factual content; estimate spoken duration; prepare production handoff. Add one validated source integration, reusable customer configuration and recurring delivery. Expand to additional teams, document formats or languages only after testing the new scope.

Build dependencies

Document parsing, a source-linked editor, tracked revisions, reviewer workflow and reliable document export. Rich presentation or print output needs format-specific QA.

Integrations and data access

Author-owned manuscripts, authorized interviews and permitted research sources. Document storage, word processor export, content management systems and approved publishing channels. Pilot with uploads and downloadable drafts before adding write integrations. These are candidate integration categories, not verified supported connectors.

Defensibility

Customer-approved terminology, reusable structures, source libraries and editorial feedback tied to a specific audience and recurring publishing workflow. For this idea, build around source-faithful scripts shaped around production and audience needs. This advantage requires execution and accumulated customer trust; the base model alone is not a defensible asset.

Alternatives and positioning

Writers, editors, agencies, internal document templates and general-purpose chat tools. Differentiate on this specific proposed advantage: source-faithful scripts shaped around production and audience needs. Test it against the buyer's current method on the same task. Competitor coverage and uniqueness have not been established.

Revenue model and test pricing

Test USD 400-1,500 for a tightly scoped initial content package. Convert repeated work to a monthly retainer with explicit deliverable and revision limits. Specialist review and substantial research are separately scoped. Prices are hypotheses.

Main delivery costs

Research and interview time, transcription, model usage, factual verification, subject-matter review, editing and revisions.

Lead magnet

An article-to-video script demonstration

The first 30 days of marketing

1. Week 1: interview five prospective buyers in this segment: training publishers converting written material into video. Ask to see a recent example of the problem and their current process.
2. Week 2: prepare this demonstration using authorized or synthetic material: an article-to-video script demonstration.
3. Week 3: present it through video production agencies and seek one narrowly scoped paid pilot.
4. Week 4: review source accuracy, producer revisions, total delivery effort and a concrete renewal decision before increasing scope.

Paid pilot and validation

Complete one existing brief using the customer’s actual sources. Record reviewer edits, factual corrections and preparation time. Ask the same buyer to commission a second comparable deliverable. For this idea, use approved articles, lessons and production constraints and evaluate reviewed script and production notes. Agree success thresholds with the buyer before starting; collect a baseline for source accuracy, producer revisions. A positive signal is payment and repeat use with acceptable quality and delivery cost, not a favorable demo reaction alone.

Success metrics

Source accuracy, producer revisions

Retention and expansion

Maintain the approved source and voice library, schedule recurring editorial work, and expand into additional formats only after the core deliverable is repeatedly accepted.

Operating controls and limitations

Preserve author voice, source attribution, quotation accuracy and usage permissions. Authors approve substantive changes and publication scope. Validate source access and reviewer availability during the pilot. Maintain customer-level access, data deletion controls and a record of final approvals.

Investment indication

What it would take to build, from a first MVP to the full product. A planning range to start the conversation, not a quote. Running costs (model usage, hosting, reviewer hours) come on top.
