Plan a team’s weekly capacity, check a quote against its source or play TubeCount. These public tools and experiments come from the content work.

LAB-001

TubeCount

Live

A daily game: see a real YouTube thumbnail, guess the view count. Three guesses — the title and channel unlock as clues — then the reveal shows exactly how far off you were. Play long enough and you earn an eye rating: a number on the packaging instinct this whole industry runs on.

In build

02 / Why a lab

Tools from
the content work.

Machine House combines content and creative technology. We build research tools, content intelligence and production workflows as part of the work. Labs gives the public experiments a home of their own.

We list each project’s availability here. New releases will appear alongside TubeCount when they are ready to use.
