Advanced assumptions & industry benchmarks

These reflect industry benchmarks for AI video analytics deployments. Drag any slider to model your exact scenario.

25%
Industry reports document 20–40% shrink reduction within 6–18 months of AI video analytics deployment.
65%
Automated, real-time alerting replaces scheduled manual footage review (64% of managers currently only review footage reactively).
30%
Congestion & queue-length alerts let staff open registers before shoppers abandon lines.
0.5%
Conservative estimate: shorter waits and better floor staffing lift repeat-visit probability (~10% increase per 5-min wait reduction).
30%
Faster detection and audit-ready evidence shrink investigation timelines (case studies show 2–3 months down to ~1 month) and reduce write-offs.
