The Lab - version intelligence, unified
One stop shop for version intelligence.
The Lab is a single suite of features that give your content the treatment it needs, deployed wherever your data already lives, built to pay for itself from day one.
The problem
Your data deserves better than a patchwork
Every piece of content in your archive needs something different: some of it is a duplicate that shouldn’t be costing you twice, some of it is buried and hard to find, some of it needs a compliance check before it goes anywhere. Without a single, clean deployment sitting across your whole workflow, that intelligence never quite reaches the content that needs it, and things fall through the cracks.
What's inside
One deployment, four capabilities, every workflow covered
The Lab is the single entry point to Snicket Labs’ full version intelligence suite. One deployment, wherever your data lives, gives every piece of content flowing through your workflow the right treatment automatically, whether that’s deduplication, moment detection, version comparison or compliance review.
Find related content, tackle versionitis and redundant footage, and see exactly where two versions of the same asset differ, even clips of differing lengths.
Pinpoint key moments inside continuous, fixed-rig recordings, ideal for reality TV, sport and news, so you can bin the dead air and quickly get to the important stuff.
Understand not just what changed between two pieces of content, but why, down to the frame and timecode.
Automated clearance and suitability guidance for every territory and platform, including genAI content. Days to minutes.
Benefits & ROI
A suite designed to pay for itself
Every capability in The Lab exists to remove a cost that’s currently hiding in your archive: duplicate storage, wasted AI spend, manual search time, or unmanaged compliance risk. None of it is charged separately from the value it creates.
~40%
of a typical archive is duplicate or near-duplicate content (Snicket Labs published.
Up to 40%
typical cut to cloud storage costs from deduplication alone (Snicket Labs published benchmark).
$1M / 10,000 hrs
potential revenue from monetising unique content that duplicates were burying.
Deduplicating early delivers permanent, compounding value; deduplicating late means paying an ongoing tax on storage, processing and review for content that was never worth keeping twice. Every day spent waiting is unrecoverable money spent storing and enriching data you didn’t need. The Lab is built around that principle: give content the right treatment at ingest, not after it’s already cost you.
What's in the box
Annual subscription
$70,000/yr
includes 1,000 hours of processing in the first 12 months
Consumption
$9.21→ $4.25 / hr
Match & Compare, Detect Moments and Accelerate Compliance are billed per hour processed beyond that, on a sliding scale that reduces as committed volume increases
As committed volume increases →
Add-on subscription
$17,500/yr
Explain Differences: available as an add-on subscription, requires The Lab
The only capability priced separately. Everything else in The Lab is covered by the subscription and the consumption line.
- No hidden fees
- No extra support charges
- No per-seat licensing
- No separate integration costs
Deployed where you need it, built into how you already work
The Lab is deployed client-hosted, on AWS, GCP, on-premises, or hybrid, so it sits inside your existing workflow rather than asking you to move your content to it. Your data stays where it already lives, and every capability plugs into the same deployment, so intelligence gathered in one workflow flows straight into the next. Capabilities that use AI are off by default.
Bring your own AI, the choice and the control stay with you.
— The Lab, Capabilities V1.0
One suite, three stakeholders
For CFOs
One clean cost line.
One clean cost line. A single subscription and consumption model covering every workflow your content passes through, instead of costs scattered across storage, processing and review with no single view of where the money goes.
For CTOs
One deployment, every workflow covered.
Plug The Lab into your existing infrastructure once, wherever it lives, and every capability inside it is available to every workflow that touches your content, no separate setup per use case.
For Creative & Editorial Teams
Content that's already been looked after.
Whatever you pull from the archive has already had the right treatment applied, deduplicated, checked, understood, so you’re working with what’s actually there, not guessing.
