# Turnoutray

*/Startups/Turnoutray*

## Startup Overview

This platform unifies hybrid event attendance by correlating physical badge scans with virtual meeting attendee logs. Event organizers constantly struggle to reconcile in-person check-ins with digital viewing metrics, leaving them with fragmented data that obscures true participation. The system merges these distinct data streams into a single, unified attendance record without requiring manual data entry.

Legacy event management suites like Cvent and Bizzabo lock organizers into proprietary hardware ecosystems, while alternative methods fall back on manual spreadsheet tracking. This solution operates as a completely hardware-agnostic layer, processing raw data from any existing scanner or video conferencing software. Because the system bypasses flat licensing fees and hardware rentals, billing is strictly outcome-priced per verified attendee, aligning event technology costs directly with actual participant engagement.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that correlates badge scans with virtual meeting attendee logs
**Competitors**:
- [Cvent](/Competitors/Cvent)
- [Bizzabo](/Competitors/Bizzabo)
- [Manual spreadsheet tracking](/Competitors/Manual_spreadsheet_tracking)
**Differentiator2x2**: hardware-agnostic and strictly outcome-priced per verified attendee

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Aiming to reduce post-event cross-channel reconciliation time from weeks to under 4 hours for enterprise hybrid conferences.
- Targeting a 99% automated match rate between disparate physical badge scans and virtual attendee logs without human review.
- Designed to process data from any arbitrary mix of proprietary badge scanners into a single, hardware-agnostic source of truth.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Single Event · Price: ~$0.80–$1.50 per verified attendee · Inclusions: On-demand reconciliation for single hybrid events, paying only for successfully matched physical and virtual attendee records via standard CSV uploads.
- Name: Annual Volume · Price: ~$0.30–$0.70 per verified attendee · Inclusions: Pooled processing for up to 25,000 records annually, including fuzzy-matching identity resolution and priority queueing for large data files.
- Name: Enterprise Portfolio · Price: ~$15,000–$25,000/yr custom ceiling · Inclusions: Uncapped attendee matching across unlimited global events, designed for programmatic API ingestion across multiple distinct hardware vendors and virtual platforms.
**Guarantee**: Turnoutray guarantees delivery of a definitively merged, deduplicated attendee master list within 4 hours of your final log upload, or the entire matching run for that event is free.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: We already rely on end-to-end platforms like Cvent. Rebuttal: Turnoutray is designed to run alongside those systems, catching the fragmented external logs (like off-platform Zoom breakouts) that native suites fail to capture.
- Objection: Attendees use different email addresses for virtual logins and physical registration. Rebuttal: Turnoutray intends to utilize secondary fuzzy matching on company domain, name, and session timing to flag high-probability alternate identities.
- Objection: We do not want another recurring SaaS subscription for seasonal events. Rebuttal: Pricing is strictly outcome-based per verified attendee, meaning you pay zero platform overhead during inactive months.
- Objection: Uploading our attendee lists creates a GDPR risk. Rebuttal: Turnoutray is architected to process only hashed identifiers and timestamps, discarding personal data immediately after the reconciliation run completes.

## Startup Brand

**Voice**: Analytical and precise, emphasizing verifiable metrics over event marketing fluff.
**Tagline**: Correlate physical badge scans with virtual logs for verified attendance.
**Icon Concept**: lanyard
**Palette Intent**: institutional-cool
**Visual Identity**: Deep navy and structural silver typography ground the interface, emphasizing forensic verification logs rather than typical event photography.
**Archetype Reference**: the-sage

## Startup Buyer Chain

**Chain**: Turnoutray → Event Organizer → B2B Sponsor → Event Attendee
**Gtm Motion**: Acquires initial event portfolios through direct outbound offering risk-free pilot pricing that charges only per verified cross-channel attendee. Expands accounts by deploying across an organizer's entire annual event calendar and offering premium data access tiers to event sponsors.
**Agent Channel**: Designed to register in the LangChain tool registry and OpenAI integration directory as an event data verification tool, allowing AI SDR agents to query a prospect's verified physical and virtual attendance status before drafting targeted follow-up sequences.
**Primary Channel**: Direct outbound to Field Marketing Directors via LinkedIn and targeted listings on software directories under the Event Management category, capturing intent from buyers searching for hardware-agnostic badge scanning alternatives.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- Run a parallel data ingestion test on a 5,000-person hybrid event over 48 hours to prove Turnoutray outputs a definitive merged attendee list faster and with fewer duplicate errors than the client's internal data operations team.
- Process historical fragmented logs from a past 15,000-person enterprise conference to demonstrate the discovery and reconciliation of alternate identities missed entirely by the client's native end-to-end event management suite.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: Post-event data reconciliation time reduced from 14 days to under 4 hours.
- Target: 99% automated match rate between disparate physical badge scans and virtual attendee logs.
- Target: 85% resolution rate of multi-email identity fragments using fuzzy matching algorithms.
- Target: $0 platform overhead costs incurred during inactive seasonal non-event months.
**Target Case Studies**:
- Target: A mid-market B2B software company (Event Operations Lead) that uses Turnoutray to eliminate manual CSV cross-referencing between physical badge scans and Zoom webinar exports, producing a definitively merged master list in under 4 hours.
- Target: A global enterprise trade show producer (Data Operations Manager) that automates the merging of disparate attendee logs from three distinct proprietary badge scanner vendors and two virtual platforms into a single hardware-agnostic source of truth.
- Target: A regional industry association (Event Coordinator) that successfully resolves fragmented attendee identities caused by the use of disparate corporate and personal email addresses through fuzzy matching on domains and session timing.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Event Operations Lead expressing immense relief at permanently avoiding manual VLOOKUP operations on messy CSV exports from multiple unlinked hardware and software vendors after a major conference.
- Field Marketing Director expressing confidence in handing a clean, deduplicated master lead list to the sales team on the Monday morning immediately following a hybrid event.
- Event Technology Manager highlighting the predictability and fairness of an outcome-based pricing model that automatically scales down to zero platform cost during their off-season.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Major event platforms restrict API access to their virtual attendee logs, blocking the core correlation engine. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: The outcome-based pricing model creates severe revenue volatility if clients host poorly attended events. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Maintaining hardware-agnostic compatibility across dozens of proprietary physical badge scanners drains engineering capacity. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: low · Description: Virtual meeting providers alter their API schemas for attendee logs, causing temporary data correlation failures. · Mitigation Status: mitigated
