The Senior Taste Tax: Why Your Best Editors Are Your Biggest Bottleneck

A junior submits a cut at 4pm. A senior glances at it and says "it's not quite right." Two hours of back-and-forth later, it ships.

That's the senior taste tax - and it's quietly the most expensive line in your video workflow.

In under 4 minutes, Richie Murray (Electric Sheep) breaks down why it happens and the two-step playbook for fixing it.

The 3-part problem:

1. The taste tax. Hours lost to subjective, back-and-forth reviews on every edit.

2. Tacit knowledge doesn't scale. The judgment lives only in your seniors' heads - and walks out the door when they leave.

3. Demand is exploding. One story now ships dozens of variants per sector, platform and use case.

Built for creative directors and production leads who need brand-consistent video at scale - without hiring more seniors.
