The recommended next step is Process two weeks of archived footage from three mid-market warehouses and present the near-miss reel to their safety managers; measure willingness to pay against their current incident-rate costs.\n\n## Bottlenecks\n- Well-funded incumbents (Voxel, Intenseye) are already selling video-AI safety to enterprise sites.\n- Union and privacy concerns around worker surveillance can stall deployments.\n- A broad AI assistant can flatten differentiation unless the wedge is painfully specific.\n- The first release can become a generic dashboard if the job is not named tightly.\n- Needs real buyer access, not only desk research.\n- Needs proof of budget or repeated urgency.\n- Needs a crisp wedge before broad product work starts.\n\n## Accelerators\n- Can talk to the buyer before writing much code.\n- Can ship a narrow first-win demo quickly.\n- Can use local-first research artifacts to keep validation moving without a large team.\n- Use specificity as the wedge: one buyer, one workflow, one measurable result.\n- Show proof earlier than broad competitors with before-and-after examples and small pilot data.\n- Keep implementation lighter than incumbent suites or generic AI assistants.\n- Concierge review or paid template\n\n## Dated Launch Plan\n- **2026-08-14 / Frame the wedge**: Write the one-sentence promise and test it in the strongest channel. Proof: Process two weeks of archived footage from three mid-market warehouses and present the near-miss reel to their safety managers; measure willingness to pay against their current incident-rate costs.\n- **2026-08-17 / Interview 10 people who match the buyer persona.**: Create the lead magnet and use it to recruit interviews. Proof: Problem resonance: 5+ calls or 10+ detailed replies.\n- **2026-08-21 / Ship a clickable demo or concierge workflow that produces the first useful artifact.**: Build the smallest demo that proves the first win. Proof: Activation: 25% of demo visitors complete the first-win path.\n- **2026-08-28 / Run one paid pilot or collect explicit pricing objections before automating the rest.**: Delete any report section that feels generic before building. Proof: Commercial pull: 3 paid pilots, LOIs, or concrete procurement next steps.\n- **2026-09-04 / Promote to a deeper build plan only after the wedge survives validation.**: Run the lead magnet and first-win demo tests. Proof: Fewer than five qualified buyers agree to discuss the workflow after targeted outreach.\n- **2026-09-13 / Execution checkpoint 6**: Promote to deeper implementation only once the wedge survives interviews or paid-pilot outreach. Proof: Promote to a deeper build plan only after the wedge survives validation.\n\n## Builder Prompt\nCreate a dated execution plan for \"Near-miss detection AI for existing warehouse CCTV\".
