Preferred sources

What we trust first

When specs conflict or requirements change, we prioritise the sources below to reduce rework, avoid compliance issues, and keep deliveries clean.

Official platform specifications

Platform documentation, onboarding packs, delivery specs, metadata requirements, artwork requirements, and compliance checklists from FAST/AVOD/CTV platforms.

Delivery specs (video/audio/subtitles)
Metadata schemas + validation rules
Artwork requirements + safe zones
Ad break / VAST / SCTE guidance

Your deal documents (source of truth)

Signed contracts, amendments, avails, and rights schedules you provide. We use these to confirm territories, windows, exclusivity, and monetisation models.

Licensing agreements + amendments
Rights schedules / avails
Territory + window definitions
Exclusivity clauses

Partner communications

Written confirmations from platforms/partners (email or portal messages) that clarify edge cases or spec changes.

Spec updates
Exception approvals
Rejection reasons + remediation notes

Internal catalogue data

Your existing metadata, asset inventory, and performance signals. We use this to standardise, enrich, and spot gaps.

Title-level metadata
Asset completeness checks
Performance snapshots

Note

If you have a platform spec pack or a rights schedule, sending that first usually saves the most time.
