Where knowledge makes the difference

## For the people doing the work.

Operators & frontline teams

### See the task, step by step.

Show everyday procedures, equipment setups, and handovers in short demonstrations people can revisit on the job.

Technicians & maintenance teams

### Keep troubleshooting know-how.

Preserve the checks, techniques, and practical details experienced specialists use to work through a problem.

New hires & team leads

### Give experience a longer life.

Turn expert experience into onboarding lessons, so practical knowledge stays available as people join or leave the team.

From expertise to training

## Your experts show it. We make it teachable.

1. **Map the knowledge.**  Choose the expertise worth preserving. We organize the training plan around your processes, categories, and terminology.
2. **Capture & clarify.**  Use existing footage and documents, or produce new demonstrations. YBA edits, narrates, and builds the written guide.
3. **Review & refresh.**  Your experts check the details. We publish the lessons in your library and update them as the work changes.

What your team gets

## Useful knowledge. Ready to share.

A practical library for your business, from one repeatable task to a wider onboarding program.

- **Video SOPs**  Show each task, equipment setup, and expert technique in short video demonstrations.
- **Work instructions**  Clear written steps accompany each video, using your company’s own terminology.
- **Checks & translations**  Check understanding with quizzes. Share practical lessons across your team’s languages.
- **Your managed library**  Your company owns it. YBA handles hosting, organization, management, and updates.

Considering doing it in-house?

## Your people do their jobs. We do ours.

A training library needs a production team, too. Here’s what staffing those roles could look like.

Your Company ANNUAL STAFFING

### The in-house receipt

U.S. salary benchmarks · USD / year

1. Instructional designer $92,670
2. Camera operator $68,810
3. Video editor $70,980
4. Translator One language $59,440
5. Web developer To host the library $90,930

Annual total

A year in salaries, before benefits.

One person per role. One translation language. Narration, software & hosting excluded.

### Sources & assumptions

This example assumes five full-time U.S. roles. A company may share responsibilities, use existing staff, or hire contractors; actual staffing and costs vary.

Camera operator, film and video editor, interpreter/translator and web developer figures are U.S. national median annual wages from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2024. The translator figure covers one person; this example assumes one translation language.

The instructional designer figure is a Glassdoor average salary estimate cited by GSDC in June 2026. It is not a BLS median. [Instructional design source](https://www.gsdcouncil.org/blogs/ai-changing-instructional-designer-salaries-careers).

[BLS wage tables, May 2024 archive](https://www.bls.gov/oes/tables.htm)

Salaries only, before benefits and employer costs. Narration, software and hosting are not included. This is an illustrative in-house staffing cost, not YBA pricing.

## Your questions, answered.

### What knowledge should we capture first?

Start with a task people ask about often, an important procedure, or know-how held by only a few experienced employees. Your team identifies the priorities and experts; YBA helps turn that knowledge into a clear training plan.

### Do we need professionally filmed footage?

No. We can work with footage your team already has or records on the job, along with manuals, SOPs, and presentations. Where material is missing, we can produce new content with your experts.

### How do you make sure the instructions are accurate?

Your subject matter experts review the details before content becomes part of the training library. Their review helps the video and written instructions reflect your actual equipment, processes, and terminology.

### Who owns the finished training library?

Your company owns its knowledge and training library. YBA builds, hosts, manages, and updates the library so the content stays organized and useful as your business changes.

## What knowledge do you want to keep?

Start with one process, one expert, or existing footage. We’ll turn it into training others can use.
