Analytics & spend
It learns what works.
It never overspends.
Every post reports back with views, watch time, and completion. Every dollar is metered as it's spent. The system learns from the first and is bound by the second.
The learning loop
Losers teach it as much as winners.
Views, watch time, and completion are collected per post. Top and bottom performers are attributed to their angles, and both verdicts feed the next ideation round.
- Winning angles get variations. Losing angles get retired.
- Attribution is automatic. No spreadsheet, no Monday review meeting.
- The loop compounds: every post makes the next brief sharper.

Spend controls
Hard caps. Not soft alerts.
Every LLM, image, video, and TTS call is metered to a ledger as it happens. Caps aren't a dashboard warning you read the next morning, they stop the job.
- Per-niche daily caps, so one channel can't eat the budget.
- A global cap over everything, plus prepaid credits. No surprise invoice.
- When a cap trips, jobs fail closed. Spending stops, mid-pipeline if it must.

Put the loop to work.
Start with a small cap. Watch the metrics steer the next round. Raise it when the numbers earn it.
