The Centerboard Platform for Film & Television
Most avails workflows remain fragmented, manual, and disconnected from the commercial decisions that drive revenue.
- Siloed systems — avails, rights, conflicts in separate tools.
- Manual conflict resolution — email, spreadsheets, tribal knowledge.
- Disconnected from demand — pricing without real-time partner signals.
- Missed revenue windows — by the time you confirm, the window narrows.
- No feedback loop — deal outcomes don’t inform the next deal.
The Result: Revenue left on the table, slower time-to-market, and a growing gap between what you could sell and what it actually does.
Maybe you know what’s available, technically. The gap is deciding — in real time — what to sell, to whom, when, and at what price.
Typically you can discover: rights, conflicts, exclusivities, deliverables = inventory.
But wouldn’t it be helpful to know:
- which title clears the most revenue;
- which partner pays most today,
- which bundle maximizes yield,
- what price captures demand = monetization.
This is the gap.
Key insight: “Availability is a data problem. Monetization is a decision problem.”
Avails as operations
- Tools to look up what’s available
- Pricing set once, renegotiated rarely
- Bundles built by habit
- Execution measureed in weeks
- Learning trapped in people’s heads
Monetization as decisions
- Engines that decide what to sell
- Prices that flex to live demand
- Bundles optimized for yield
- Execution measured in hours
- A learning loop that compounds
Centerboard transforms content licensing into a decision system
— so every avail becomes a revenue decision,
and every decision compounds into yield.
We offer specialized AI agents trained on film and TV processes, including:
ContractX – Contract Interpretation
Upload or leverage an agent to pick up one or more acquisitions, original production, distribution, release, or elemental contract, “read” and synthesize key data points, mapping to your master data model automatically. Contracts are at the heart of the filmed entertainment industry and without extracting key terms, accurately, it is challenging to action agreements, or stay compliant. Key terms include: Dates, Assets, Metadata, Rights, Restrictions, Options, Exhibition Definitions, and Business Terms. Document formats vary and typically some data is structured while other data is unstructured. Doesn’t matter what it looks like, our models will de-noise and clean up the document to enable processing of key data. We then present these structured data elements back to you, alongside the original doc, now in PDF form, for you to quickly validate.
AvailsX – Modern Avails & Conflict Checking
Our ML model incorporates any and all types of data to enable accurate avails calculations against millions of parameters. Our proprietary private AI/ML model stores your taxonomies, hierarchies, and key master data management structures to ensure that the contractual data is fully “understood” and business rules are transparent. Our modern avails model enables multistep checking to ensure that content sales understands the origin of the results and can trace how the model arrived at the results. Decisioning support for avails and conflicts checking involves hard and soft rules, all configurable to your use cases. Once you can trust your avails engine fully, you can turn your attention toward optimizing revenue. The model will learn over time and will push out recommendations around pricing, bundling, and windowing decisions. With agents, the results can be leveraged from adjacent systems that need to consume the avails, such as MAM, DAM, and Scheduling.
