The video ad supply chain in plain terms — who the parties are, where the money goes, and which levers a publisher genuinely controls.
A live clip is worth most in the minutes right after it happens — a window far shorter than manual editing takes. What real-time packaging requires.
Sports used to be a vertical application of broadcast technology. Direct distribution turned it into a technology problem in its own right.
Most video dashboards are full of numbers nobody can act on. A short list of the metrics that actually change a decision.
