The Challenge
Titles get pulled from a platform because nobody could prove the window was clear, and residuals are worked out by hand months late. Rights sit in scanned contracts, exhibition data in playout logs.
How It Works
- Reads distribution agreements, talent terms, rights registers and exhibition logs.
- Resolves grants, holdbacks and windows per territory and computes the residual due.
- Answers a clearance question in the scheduling moment and files the liability to the ledger.
What It Removes
- Manual contract reads before every platform launch
- Spreadsheet residual calculations per exhibition
- Blanket holdbacks applied to unclear titles
Input Data RequirementsDistribution and licence agreements, talent and guild agreements, rights registers, platform and playout exhibition logs, residual payment history
Output FormatPer-title clearance answer with the clause cited, plus a residual liability schedule reconciled to exhibition
“Legal takes three days to tell us whether we can stream it in Germany, and the launch date was yesterday.”
