Catch a licensed title still airing past its rights

Every quarter, someone reads each license to see if the renewal window is still open and whether a platform is still airing a title it no longer has rights to. This app reads the clause and the delivery log, and flags what needs attention.

Why it matters

Today's manual process, and the same job with the app

A business-affairs analyst at a media licensor, reviewing the content book each quarter.

✕Today's manual process

1Read the fine print on every title's clause to find which date starts the clock.
2Compute the notice window manually from that date, both the open and close.
3Check the delivery log separately, for any title already known to have reverted.
4Miss a breach and a platform keeps airing a title it no longer has the rights to.
Every title read by eye each quarter

✓With the app

1The clause is read and the governing date is found automatically, every quarter.
2The window is computed both edges, with today's notice decision printed next to it.
3The delivery log is checked the moment a title reverts, and stays checked every quarter after.
4A breach is flagged with the exact number of days it has been running.
Every title checked the same way, every quarter
