Executive Summary

Many teams and solo engine/content creators (roughly 3M potential users) spend significant time chasing scattered editor-hierarchy objects that break exports, produce brittle dependency graphs, and cause CI/build failures. This manual cleanup can add hours to each release cycle and is a recurring pain across studios and indie projects alike. You could build an editor plugin plus CLI that scans projects, lists orphaned or misplaced hierarchy objects, offers rule-driven bulk relocation and packaging, and emits reproducible export manifests for CI. Focus on engine-native integrations (Unity, Unreal), a dry-run preview mode, and simple automation hooks so teams can adopt it with minimal friction. The market is attractive now: estimated TAM ~$600M (3M creators × $200 ACV) with strong tailwinds from modular/asset-driven development, marketplace distribution, and growing CI adoption; market and revenue scores (83/100 and 81/100) reflect solid demand. Distribution through engine stores and micro-payments makes it realistic for a small paid utility to reach sustainable revenues even in a medium-competition landscape. You can stand out by combining polished in-editor UX, deterministic manifests for automated pipelines, and smart dependency-cleanup algorithms that general asset managers often miss. The main challenges are robust cross-engine engineering and handling noisy edge cases, but if those are addressed the tool can save teams hours per release and justify a $100–$300 ACV.

Market Opportunity

List and relocate scattered editor hierarchy objects for clean exports targets a $600M = 3M engine/content creators × $200 ACV total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 10% YoY — tooling and indie game development growth reported across industry surveys and engine usage trends.

Key trends driving demand: Rise of modular and asset-driven development — teams need reliable ways to isolate and export subsets of projects, creating demand for packaging and cleanup tools.; Marketplace distribution and micro-payments — engine stores make it viable for small paid utilities to find sustainable niches.; Increasing adoption of CI/CD and automated builds — reproducible exports and clean dependency graphs reduce build failures and accelerate pipelines.; Proliferation of prosumer creators — more non-studio creators need easy-to-use editor tools that automate repetitive housekeeping tasks..

Key competitors include Unity Project Auditor, Hierarchy Pro (Asset Store plugin), Odin Inspector (broader editor tools).
