Catalogue Intelligence
Your archive has answers. You just can’t see them yet.
Our Catalogue Intelligence toolkit maps the complete structure of your archive: what you have, how it connects, what’s duplicated, and what’s genuinely unique. It works from metadata alone, no risk to your originals, no lengthy processing, no surprises on your cloud bill. The result is the intelligence you need to make real decisions about storage, content, and cost.
What you get
A complete picture of what’s in your archive
Not what someone thinks is in there, what’s actually there. Every file, every format, every version. Validated across archives of over a million files.
Duplicates and waste identified
Confirmed duplicates, redundant versions, and orphaned files that are costing you money for no reason. Not guesswork — verified detection you can act on with confidence.
Unique content count
Files are not content. A single production might exist as dozens of files — the original, the proxy, the master, the broadcast delivery, the social crop, the foreign-language version. That’s one piece of content, not dozens. We count what matters.
"Most businesses count files. We count content. The difference changes every decision you make about storage, licensing, and value"
Clear storage recommendations
What to keep in active storage. What to move to cold tiers. What to delete. And retention policies to prevent the problem from recurring. Actionable, costed, and ready to execute.
Relationships you can’t see today
Which camera original does this proxy belong to? Is this footage used in other productions? Where are the format variants of this delivery? Your current systems can’t answer these questions. Ours can.
