The Spreadsheet Problem
Rights information is typically scattered across spreadsheets and PDF contracts. This leads to:
- Manual processes — hours spent searching contracts
- Human errors — wrong windows, missed exclusivities
- Liability risk — accidental rights violations
- Slow time-to-market — can't automate scheduling
AI ETL+H Approach
The new approach: AI ETL+H (Extract, Transform, Load + Human review):
1
Extract
AI reads PDF contracts, extracts structured data.
2
Transform
Normalizes to standard rights schema.
3
Load
Populates rights management database.
H
Human review
Final validation before activation.
