A Cast Project describes the raw project used to generate personalized Cast videos for each customer or user a business wants to reach. Examples of a Cast project include: "Onboarding for customers on Startup pricing tier" or "Retention for cohort 2021Q1". A Cast Project is managed by a Cast Editor.

A Cast project consists of a) project scenes, b) project variables, and c) project settings.

Each project scene (or scene) consists of a visualization with an associated dataset that drives that visualization. Visualizations are also associated with narrations. Narrations are associated with the visualization or a specific highlight within the visualization. The Scenes and customer data together help generate personalized content and Cast video.

A project variable is driven by a dataset as well and has filters, sort criteria, functions, function criteria, formatting, and finally a name. Project variables may be derived from one or more project variables. They are used in narrations, visualization titles, and drive narration segments.

For example, Yelp restaurant success managers can share the performance, product utilization, and ROI narrative with thousands of Yelp restaurant customers and recommend personalized upgrades on a customer-by-customer basis.

A Cast Editor is a business team member, e.g., Customer Success or a Customer Success Operations team member, who uses the Cast Designer to design projects for customer onboarding, customer retention, product or feature engagement and adoption, renewals, up-sell and cross-sell expansion, and more.

An editor usually has a book of business and maybe a customer success manager or account manager.

An editor may have named accounts where they take care of a customer's needs across the functions.  E.g., Karen is responsible for Microsoft, Yelp, and 3 more strategic accounts.

They may be a specialist as part of a pooled organization.  Specialists could be responsible for one or more functions like onboarding, ROI and value reporting, retention, renewals, expansion, resurrection, collections, etc. E.g., Tyra and her team are responsible for onboarding for all SMB customers.

The third category of editors may rely heavily on automation to reach a large number of customers. E.g., John's team is responsible for all customer interactions for lower revenue accounts that do not have an assigned customer success manager

For example, the Looker Customer Success team may send a unique cast to several people in their Vimeo account.

Casts can be delivered via SMS, email, chatbot, slack, web.  Regardless of the medium, a unique Cast is counted as one. Casts are played back in a Cast player.
