Analysis

March 2026 Position

At $2,369/video, March is the second-best month in 2026 but still well above December's $576 low. The constraint is production volume: 3 videos is progress from the 2-video months (Jan/Feb), but December showed 10 is achievable. Every extra video in March would have cut the KPI to $1,776 (4 videos) or $1,421 (5 videos).

March Spend Efficiency

March's own spend of $5,325 across 58 cases is the lowest average per case on record at $92/case. This spend feeds the May 2026 KPI. If May produces 3+ videos, May's cost/video will be around $1,775 or better — which would be the best 2026 result outside of December 2025.

January Spend Drag

January's $7,106 in payments (the numerator for March KPI) was the highest recorded month. This inflates March's cost/video despite good production. That spend was across 45 cases at $158/case — a relatively expensive cohort. March benefits from cheaper cases ($92 avg) feeding into May.

April Outlook

April has 3 Dr.Insanity videos in pipeline (IB45, IB42, IB43) plus Tubi deliveries. February's spend of $5,817 (45 cases, $129/case) is the denominator. If all 3 IB videos ship in April, cost/video = $1,939. Feb spend is lower than Jan, which would already be an improvement on March's $2,369.
