Executive Summary

Small and mid-sized businesses, agencies, and creators routinely waste time and miss revenue because short-form video workflows — editing, captioning, thumbnails, publishing, ad placement and conversion tracking — are fragmented and hard to stitch into reliable funnels. Many lack technical resources to build repeatable automations that connect TikTok/Reels/Shorts views to CRM events and purchases, leaving an ROI blind spot. You could build a SaaS that auto-ingests clips and uses generative AI to produce caption variants, thumbnails, and creative variants, then orchestrates publishing, paid placement, pixel/CRM stitching and A/B testing via a visual workflow builder. Target a $3K/year ACV SMB/agency tier with prebuilt funnel templates (e‑commerce, lead-gen, courses) and one-click integrations to common ad and commerce platforms. The timing is compelling: an addressable market of ~6 million businesses × ~$3K ACV implies roughly an $18.0B opportunity, and signals like short-form platform prioritization, creator monetization needs, a Market Score of 88/100 and Revenue Potential of 86/100 point to real demand. Businesses are hungry to convert attention into predictable revenue rather than chase vanity metrics. To differentiate in a high-competition space, prioritize robust, documented native integrations, a library of vertical-specific workflow templates, first-party conversion stitching, and creator-facing monetization tools that simplify revenue sharing. Be realistic about risks — platform API volatility and integration complexity are major execution challenges, so plan for partnerships, rapid iteration, and an enterprise-grade tracking layer from day one.
