How to read this

• Break-even: the number of videos per month where AI starts to cost less, because the monthly subscription is spread across more videos. Shown above when it applies.
• Your time has a cost. Even if you do the work yourself, hours are not free. Putting a value on them is what makes the comparison fair.
• Cost is not the only factor. Quality, brand fit, revision rounds, rights and the risk of odd AI details all matter. Test two or three clips before you commit.
• This is a simple model. It is a cost comparison, not a promise of results. Pair it with a real measure such as views, leads or sales.

Why it matters for business

This is a basic cost-benefit and break-even analysis, the same method used to justify any system or tool. Making assumptions visible and easy to change is a core business-analyst skill. See ROI and break-even point in the glossary, and the safe AI checklist before you publish.
