Analytics and monitoring decision
KOLCU DİGİTAL LLC
A single developer can reproduce the core analysis pipeline and a basic UI, but the vendor claims a large proprietary training corpus/ML advantage (300k+ viral videos) that would be difficult to replicate, so keeping the paid product may be justified for parity on model quality and scale.

No open-source build does this yet
Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.
What a replacement has to do
- User supplies a YouTube link → system downloads video → extract frames/audio → run ML pipelines to compute retention, CTR, hook and sentiment metrics → produce a downloadable report and CSV and surface suggestions in a web UI
What it still won’t have
- Proprietary model or dataset trained on 300k+ viral videos
- Polished, productized UI and Chrome extension maintenance
- Priority support and managed hosting
- Any undisclosed optimizations or feature flagging in the vendor product
What remains hard
- Proprietary data

Runnable build prompt
Build a self-hosted YouTube video analysis service using: backend in Python (FastAPI), Postgres for metadata, Redis + RQ for job queue, object storage (S3-compatible), FFmpeg and yt-dlp for video ingest, and call external model APIs (or local VLM) for inference; frontend in React with charting (e.g. Chart.js) and CSV export; include a simple Chrome extension that posts the current video URL to the service. Core features in scope: accept YouTube link, queue and process video, compute retention/engagement time-series, detect hooks and CTAs via model inference, generate a downloadable CSV and an interactive report page, and a minimal auth/signup flow. Out of scope: training large proprietary models and building a large labeled dataset. Require: error handling for failed downloads and model calls, unit tests for API endpoints, basic end-to-end tests for processing pipeline, and deployment manifests (Docker Compose or Kubernetes).

- Hard moats found in the evidence-3

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
