That's the problem. You already own the storage. Now know what's on it. Duplicate files nobody knows about. Folders nobody can search. Files nobody can open without installing the app that made them. And another invoice for more capacity, because working out what is already there would cost more in staff time than the drives. Asset Foundry indexes the storage you already run, prices the duplicates against your own rates, and does the sorting that was never worth a person's week. You approve what it suggests. No migration, no services project.

Deliver the exact spec. Lens shows you the precise frame in RAW, EXR or DPX right in the browser, Forge conforms it to ProRes or DNxHR on GPU that scales back to zero, and every review copy leaves watermarked. So the frame you sign off is the frame you deliver, and no ungoverned copy floats out of the bay. For your team: Editorial & Media VFX & CG Pipeline Color & Finishing Deliverables & I/O Systems & IT The post & VFX overview The daily friction ✗ I graded to the frame I saw in the browser, then the DPX came back looking nothing like it. ✗ Every client wants a different spec, and I find out I got one wrong when it bounces back a day later. ✗ Review copies are floating around unwatermarked and nobody can tell me who still has them. What changes for you 01 Grade the frame you actually deliver Lens previews the exact frame in the browser across camera RAW, EXR and DPX, no restore and no round trip to the bay. Video previews read about 50x lighter than a full fetch in our tests, so scrubbing a 4K master to the one frame you need does not stall your session. 02 Conform to spec, not by hand Forge runs ProRes and DNxHR conforms, proxies and transcodes across 13 job types on elastic GPU that scales from zero to N and back to zero. The spec is a job you fire, not a queue you babysit, and idle nodes do not sit on the bill overnight. 03 No review copy leaves ungoverned Every output Forge produces carries visible watermarking on video, image and document, and images carry C2PA Content Credentials with an AI-source assertion. Review copies leave the bay traceable by default, so a leaked frame is never an anonymous one. 04 Every deliverable tracked to its destination Nexus routes finished deliverables into ShotGrid or 5th Kind with checksum verification and a per-file delivery event stream. You see exactly what landed where, so a wrong-spec or half-delivered master never reaches a client without you knowing first.

Gateway searches the SAN, cloud buckets and LTO tape at once and hands back the exact version with its checksum and metadata attached. Lens shows you the frame in the browser, Fabric confirms it is current and not superseded, and Nexus makes sure the proxies actually landed whole. No hunting across drives, no half-ingested media, no launching a specialist app just to eyeball a frame. For your team: Editorial & Media VFX & CG Pipeline Color & Finishing Deliverables & I/O Systems & IT The post & VFX overview The daily friction ✗ I've got three drives and a cloud tab open and I still can't tell which cut the director actually signed off on. ✗ The proxies half-copied overnight and I won't find out until I'm mid-conform against missing frames. ✗ I just want to look at one frame and I'm launching a whole specialist app to do it. What changes for you 01 One search, not a scavenger hunt Ask once and Gateway searches the SAN, cloud and LTO tape together, then returns the exact file with its checksum and metadata. The hunt across three drives and a cloud tab stops being how you find a take. 02 Current, not a lookalike Fabric flags current versus superseded at a glance, so the selects you pull are the ones that are actually live, not last night's render or an earlier pass that looks almost right. 03 Check a frame without leaving the browser Lens previews about 140 formats in place, from camera RAW, EXR and DPX to broadcast masters. Confirm the take without opening a specialist app. Video previews read about 50x lighter than a full fetch in our tests, so scrubbing a fresh drop stays fast. 04 Media lands whole or not at all Nexus assembles proxy and conform media atomically with checksum verification on intake, so a frame sequence is either fully in or flagged.

Verified to the last file. Nexus verifies every vendor drop file by file and tells you exactly what landed, Gateway puts every ingest and delivery on one live board with duplicate and cost reports across 8 tiers, and Fabric joins the trackers so status stops living in email and Slack. You sign off against a drop you can prove, not one the vendor promised. For your team: Editorial & Media VFX & CG Pipeline Color & Finishing Deliverables & I/O Systems & IT The post & VFX overview The daily friction ✗ The vendor says it's all there. I've got tens of thousands of files and no way to prove the drop landed whole before I sign off. ✗ Delivery status is smeared across email, Slack and a spreadsheet, and I'm the one everyone pings for it. ✗ We're paying rent on duplicate drops nobody flagged, the same files copied across half a dozen tiers under different names. What changes for you 01 A drop lands whole or it's flagged Nexus verifies checksums file by file over Aspera or S3 and assembles frame sequences atomically, and a per-file delivery event stream tells you exactly what arrived. You sign off against a drop you can prove, not one an email promised. 02 Every I/O on one live board Gateway shows a live queue of every ingest and delivery in flight, with recovery ops that dry-run and undo. Status stops being a thing people ping you for, and a stalled 2am transfer is something you see and roll back cleanly, not discover the next morning. 03 Kill duplicate drops paying rent Checksum-level duplicate reports across 8 storage tiers match on the file's checksum, not its name, so the same drop copied under three names is still one asset. See exactly what is paying rent and reclaim the space instead of buying more. 04 Status out of Slack, into one graph Fabric joins ShotGrid, FileMaker and Airtable so delivery state lives in one place, and flags current versus superseded, so the cut you route out is the one that was actually approved, not last week's.

What changes for you 01 A sequence lands whole or not at all Nexus assembles frame sequences atomically with checksum verification on every file over Aspera or S3. A per-file delivery event stream tells you exactly what arrived, so you never feed the farm a shot that is quietly missing frames. 02 Routing that doesn't snap Finished shots route into ShotGrid with their metadata attached, driven by explicit opt-in write paths, not brittle hand-wired hops you rebuild every time a schema shifts. The DAM stays the system of record; Nexus just makes sure it actually gets told. 03 A farm that feeds itself Forge runs 13 job types across video, image, 3D, audio and documents on elastic GPU fleets that scale from zero to N and back to zero.

Govern the AI in-house. Asset Foundry is the trust layer for your facility. It runs in your own AWS account or on-prem, so in production deployments your clients' content stays in your environment. Checksum-level duplicate and cost reports across 8 storage tiers, SSO, MFA and role-based access on the way in, and governed generative AI you can actually sign off. One self-serve platform your team stands up, not another vendor cloud you have to explain to a client. For your team: Editorial & Media VFX & CG Pipeline Color & Finishing Deliverables & I/O Systems & IT The post & VFX overview The daily friction ✗ I buy more storage every quarter and I couldn't tell you how much of it is duplicate frames paying rent across tiers. ✗ Half the facility wants an AI tool, and I have no way to run one without a client's plates leaving the building. ✗ The client security questionnaire lands, and I'm vouching for a black box I'm not allowed to see inside. What changes for you 01 See the sprawl before you buy more Gateway pulls checksum-level duplicate reports and storage-cost reports across all 8 tiers, so you can see exactly what is copied where and what it costs before you sign the next capacity PO. Read-only by design, so a report can never touch the data it describes. 02 Kill duplicates paying rent Duplicates are matched on the file's checksum, not its name or path, so a master copied across tiers under different names still reads as one asset. Reclaim the space instead of renting more of it, across cloud, on-prem and LTO tape. 03 Governed AI, inside your walls 60+ generative models sit behind one API on elastic GPU that scales from zero to N and back to zero.

Hand Codex the screenplay and get back every scene, every character, and every element as data your whole production can use. The breakdown that used to take days of highlighters is structured, searchable, and repeatable from day one. See it in a pilot → The technical depths What changes 01 Breakdowns in hours, not weeks Upload the screenplay PDF. Codex returns the full breakdown: scenes, cast, props, stunts, effects. Prep starts with data on day one instead of a stack of marked-up pages. 02 No invented elements The parse never uses an LLM. It works from curated vocabularies and context rules, so it cannot invent a prop it never read. Same script in, same breakdown out, every time. 03 Every department reads the same script Cast rollups, INT/EXT and day-night counts, dialogue tallies: one shared picture of the script for the AD team, producers, and every department head. 04 The story feeds the whole studio Pair Codex with Fabric and the breakdown links into your production graph. Search and reporting then understand your story, not just your files, and reuse gets easier every season. How it does it Full scene structure, preserved Per scene: scene number, heading, INT/EXT, time of day, set and sub-location, characters present, and dialogue blocks with V.O., O.S. and CONT'D parentheticals kept intact.

No copies, no plugins, no specialist workstation. See it in a pilot → The technical depths What changes 01 Open the unopenable Camera RAW, VFX frames, 3D models, formats that died years ago. Files that used to need a specialist workstation now open in your browser, in seconds. 02 Nothing moves first Lens reads files where they already live: cloud, on-prem, network storage. No migration project, no proxy farm, no waiting on a copy before you can look. 03 Light on your network A ~500 MB video previews from a ~10 MB read: ~50x lighter in our tests. Browsing a deep archive feels instant, not expensive. 04 Reuse beats re-make A library only exists if you can see into it. When every file previews, your team finds what you already paid for before budgeting it again. How it does it ~140 formats across six families 3D and CAD models, camera RAW from major systems, VFX and film frames such as EXR and DPX tone-mapped for the browser, broadcast video including MXF, 26 audio formats rendered as waveforms, and multi-page PDFs up to 5,000 pages. A small number of exotic sub-variants fall back to metadata-only handling. 3D turntables, rendered on GPUs Point Lens at an obj, fbx or glb and get a GPU-rendered turntable with 0, 90, 180 and 270 degree views. GPU rendering runs 10-100x faster than CPU paths, and 3D parsing runs in a disposable sandbox that fails closed. Byte-range reads, not full downloads Lens reads just the bytes it needs. On S3 that means a ~500 MB video previews from a ~10 MB read, ~50x lighter in our tests on repeat views with cache. There is no pre-generation step: previews render on first request, then cache. Wherever the file lives Amazon S3 with byte-range reads, Box through its native API with thumbnail passthrough, Google Drive, NFS, SMB including Synology, and StorageDNA-managed LTO tape through its catalog index. Isilon and similar are reached over NFS or SMB export. Built to be hammered 32 concurrent preview requests per node with a crash-isolated render pool, so a crash on one file is contained and the rest keep rendering.

They land right. Nexus is the router between your vendors and the systems you already run. Deliveries arrive, get verified, assemble into complete assets, and land in each DAM with the right metadata, tracked file by file. See it in a pilot → The technical depths What changes 01 Nothing lands half-delivered A shot is thousands of frames arriving one at a time. Nexus assembles them and releases one complete asset, so your library shows the whole shot or flags the delivery for a human, never something in between. 02 You always know where every file is Each file reports its own status back to the sender, from received to landed. When a vendor asks where a delivery stands, the answer is on screen, not buried in an email thread. 03 Bad files get caught, not stored Files are checksum verified on arrival. A mismatch is retried, then set aside for review. It is never silently stored, so what is in your library is what was actually sent. 04 Every destination gets its own record Nexus writes each DAM the record it expects: folder tags, source paths, parent-child links. Your DAMs stay the creative front door, and they stay authoritative. How it does it Atomic frame-sequence assembly Frames arriving individually register idempotently, and the sequence releases exactly once as a single, complete asset behind a lock. A completion marker prevents re-accumulation. Sequences that stall past a 4-hour sliding inactivity window are flagged for operator investigation instead of landing partial. Checksum verification on intake Every file that arrives with a digest is verified with md5 or sha-256. Mismatches are retried, then dead-lettered, never silently stored. Duplicate skip is opt-in and keyed on the preserved source path, and checksum-level duplicate detection lives in the Gateway catalog. Per-file delivery event streams A lifecycle event stream flows back to the sending system for every file: 10 event types, from received through retry-scheduled. The console tracks 5 stages live with order-guarded updates, and per-stage timings and transfer-rate history persist. Operators can pause, resume, and tune concurrency mid-run without a restart. Multi-DAM routing that cannot mis-deliver Per-message routing runs against a managed multi-DAM endpoint registry. Each record is tailored to its destination: folder tags, source-path preservation, parent-child associations, and sync or async AI enrichment selected by file type, confirmed by signed, idempotent completion webhooks. Unknown destinations fail terminal rather than land in the wrong place. Metadata sync and scheduling Cross-system metadata sync with managed credentials, field mapping through a transformation and validation engine, and AI-suggested mappings with confidence scores that your team applies. Change detection republishes only deltas. Timezone-aware cron scheduling runs it all with concurrency limits and failure notifications. For your engineers The technical depths.

Any media out. Governed. Forge converts what you already own and creates what you need next: video, images, documents, audio and 3D, at fleet scale. Every output can be watermarked and audited, on GPU fleets that ignite on demand and go dark at idle. See it in a pilot → The technical depths What changes 01 Dead formats come back to work Your archive is full of files nothing opens. Forge converts video, images, documents and audio into the formats your teams use today, so finished work gets reused instead of re-made. 02 New media, made on demand Concept frames, temp audio, narration, turntables: generated through one governed door instead of a dozen tools and logins. Your teams ask, Forge makes, and every job is tracked. 03 Governed and traceable by default Outputs carry visible watermarks on video, images and documents. Image outputs can be signed with C2PA Content Credentials, including an AI-source assertion, so downstream teams can see what was made and how. 04 No render farm to babysit GPU fleets scale from zero to the work and back to zero at idle. Capacity follows the queue, not a hardware budget, and no one babysits the farm. How it does it 13 job types behind one API Four processing types cover video, image, document and 3D model work. Nine generative types cover image, video, audio, audio FX, audio ML, text, 3D, vision analysis and transcription. Every one is callable via REST or MCP, the open agent-connector standard, so people and agents use the same door. 60+ models, one contract A central registry puts 60+ generative model routes behind one API, including current frontier image and video model families. Each model carries capability flags, size and duration limits, and approximate per-unit cost for attribution, with graceful fallback chains. Generation can be pinned to local models or to providers you approve. Deep in every medium ProRes and DNxHR deliverables with GPU-accelerated H.264/H.265 encoding. Images to 8192 px with ACES tone mapping and face-aware smart crop. OCR with per-word confidence and AI-ready extraction sidecars. Stem separation up to 6 stems, text-to-speech, and speech-to-text with speaker diarization. 3D turntables up to 360 frames. Watermarking and provenance built in Visible text or logo watermarks on video, image and document outputs, with 5 positions plus opacity, tiling, scale, font and color control. Watermark detection on images. C2PA Content Credentials signing on image outputs, with an AI-source assertion and a sidecar-only mode. Pipelines, not one-offs A visual workflow builder chains jobs into pipelines: outputs feed inputs by token, playlist stages merge 2 to 10 clips, and generative parameters degrade gracefully to the nearest supported value.

Fabric connects ShotGrid, FileMaker, Airtable and the rest of your production stack into one governed brain. Ask it anything about your production: it answers in plain language, cites its sources, and only shows people what they are cleared to see. See it in a pilot → The technical depths What changes 01 Ask once, search everything One question spans ShotGrid, the script and your DAM. Which shots used the hero prop, and is it cleared? You get the answer with versions and rights attached, not a list of places to go look. 02 Every answer shows its work No mystery answers. Each fact carries its source and whether a human has confirmed it. Your team can trust the answer or trace it back, either way, in the open. 03 Context survives the wrap When a show wraps, the people who knew it roll off. Fabric keeps the decisions, the relationships and the history searchable, so the next season starts from memory, not archaeology. 04 Answers respect time and clearance Fabric knows current from superseded, so you never act on last month's truth. And permissions are enforced inside every question: no clearance, no answer. How it does it Native to your production stack ShotGrid, FileMaker and Airtable connect natively, alongside DAM, Slack, git and CSV import. 300+ business systems are reachable through the connector catalog. Read-through by default: your systems of record stay authoritative, and publish-back is controlled. One common language: MovieLabs OMC Every source field maps to open OMC keys: 340 mapped fields across 14 entity types. AI suggests each mapping and your team approves it, so the model stays yours. A governed knowledge graph 23 node types fuse the production world (sequences, shots, versions, assets, people, files) with the script world (scenes, cast, props, sets, locations, wardrobe and more). Duplicate entities across systems are matched and suggested, then merged only on human approval. More than document search Retrieval is hybrid: semantic search, structured queries, keyword and knowledge-graph traversal, merged and reranked. Answers stream with citations. Permissions filter inside the query and fail closed, and every fact is labeled trusted or proposed. Built for people and agents Your team gets conversational answers with sources. Your agents get 23 entity tools over MCP, the open agent-connector standard, plus organizational memory: recall, remember, forget and who_knows.

See the waste. Fix without fear. Gateway puts your entire media estate behind one search bar: cloud, on-prem, even tape. It shows you where storage money leaks, and it fixes stuck pipelines with a preview first and an undo after. See it in a pilot → The technical depths What changes 01 Find anything, anywhere One search covers everything you store: cloud, on-prem shares, even LTO tape. Every result comes back with checksums and metadata, so you know it is the real file before you touch it. 02 See where the money leaks Duplicates, cold files, dead weight: Gateway prices them on your own storage rates and shows the savings in dollars. You decide what to reclaim before the next invoice. 03 Ask the catalog a question Type a question the way you would ask an archivist. Answers stream back from the catalog, limited to what you are cleared to see, with every question logged. 04 Fix pipelines without fear A stalled ingest is not an emergency. Gateway shows you exactly what a fix will touch, runs it on your confirm, and the biggest operations come with one-click undo. How it does it Search built for a studio estate One surface spans your storage catalogs, tape included, plus enriched companion metadata. Fuzzy matching handles messy names, power users get safe regex, and a duplicates-only filter isolates copies. If the primary index goes down, search degrades gracefully to a secondary index instead of going dark. Five reports, your cost model Duplicate-savings grouped by extension, volume or production. Cold-files and dead-weight. Archive ROI. Storage overview with volume breakdown. Extension analytics. All priced on an admin-editable cost model preloaded with 8 storage tiers, from cloud object storage classes to on-prem SAN and LTO tape. Ask the catalog Production-scoped chat over the catalog with streamed answers and persistent history. Permissions resolve per question, and every question writes an audit row. Read-only by design: chat can never change your data. Automations that wait for a human Auto-ingest rules match on volume, path, pattern, type, size and date, evaluated on schedule. Matches queue as pending decisions for your approval, idempotently, so a rule never lands the same file twice. WRAP archive templates keep folder structure consistent, globally and per production. Recovery ops with a safety net Retry, retry-all-failed, DAM re-ingest, hard reset, soft retry, stage refresh and bulk approve, all from the live queue.

What changes for you 01 One graph over the systems you already run Fabric joins Airtable, FileMaker and the rest natively, plus 300+ more sources through the connector catalog, into one governed knowledge graph mapped to a shared MovieLabs OMC model of 340 fields across 14 entity types. The systems finally describe the same thing the same way, without a migration. 02 'Which is the latest?' becomes a query Permissions and version time-awareness are enforced inside the query itself, so Fabric flags current versus superseded as part of the answer. The question that used to be a Slack thread returns a single, governed result instead. 03 Ask the whole estate one question Gateway is a read-only console over cloud, on-prem and tape. Catalog Q&A streams an answer, resolves permissions per question, and writes an audit row on every one. Read-only by design, so a question can never change your data. 04 Put agents on top, fully audited Fabric exposes 23 entity MCP tools, so an agent platform like Claude, over MCP, the open agent-connector standard, can traverse the joined graph and answer questions that span systems, inside your permissions and audited end to end.

Down to the last frame. Vendor deliveries land whole or not at all, transcodes run on GPU that scales back to zero when the queue empties, and every shot reaches the right DAM with its metadata already attached. Prove it on one show in a four-week pilot, on archival data you choose. For your team: Marketing & Brand Archive & Library Post & VFX Production Technology Security & IT The studio tour The daily friction ✗ The vendor drop is 40,000 EXRs over Aspera and I have no idea if all of them actually made it before I conform against it. ✗ Half my night is watching the render farm instead of cutting, and an idle node still shows up on the bill. ✗ The shot is in, the proxy is made, and ShotGrid still has no idea the metadata exists. What changes for you 01 A shot lands whole or not at all Frame sequences assemble atomically with checksum-verified ingest over Aspera or S3. A per-file delivery event stream tells you exactly what arrived, so you never conform against a sequence that is quietly missing frames. 02 No farm to babysit Elastic GPU fleets scale from zero to N and back to zero as the queue rises and drains. Thirteen job types cover video, image, 3D, audio and documents, so ProRes and DNxHR transcodes, proxies and conforms run without a night-shift babysitter or idle nodes on the bill. 03 Metadata routes itself Finished shots route into 5th Kind or ShotGrid with their metadata attached, mapped to the MovieLabs 2030 OMC data model. The DAM stays the system of record; the Foundry just makes sure it actually gets told. 04 See the plate without pulling it Turntables and EXR, DPX and camera RAW previews render in the browser with no plate dragged off storage.

Searchable, tape included. Decades of media are scattered across cloud, on-prem and LTO tape, and half of it you cannot see without a restore.

I cannot tell you what is on that LTO shelf without a restore and a prayer. ✗ We are paying rent on duplicates nobody knows are duplicates, across eight storage tiers. ✗ Half our formats are dead. Nobody left here can open the EXRs, the DPX or the legacy 3D. What changes for you 01 See inside the tape library One search reaches cloud, on-prem and LTO tape at once, with a checksum and metadata on every result. The archive stops being a shelf you have to restore to read. 02 Kill duplicates paying rent Checksum-level duplicate reports across 8 storage tiers show you exactly what is copied where, so you can reclaim the space instead of buying more of it. 03 Open dead formats, no specialist seat ~140 formats preview in a browser with no restore and no pre-processing: camera RAW, EXR and DPX, legacy 3D rendered as turntables. Formats nobody could open become visible. 04 Storage decisions become money decisions Cold-file and archive-ROI reports tell you what has not been touched and what it costs to keep, so every tier and every retention call is backed by a number, not a guess.

What we build One index for everything a creative business owns. Fortify Media builds the Asset Foundry: the layer between your storage and your systems. It reads media estates where they live, cloud, servers and tape, makes every file findable and previewable, connects files to the work they came from, and feeds the tools you already run. Six services, one index: search and operations, previews, routing and delivery, processing and generation, a context engine, and script breakdown.

Fortify Media is led by Steve Cronan , founder and CEO of 5th Kind, the digital asset management company behind CORE: the platform that carried hundreds of films, including some of the biggest productions ever made, from a career that started on the Matrix sequels. Four issued patents in asset management and metadata-driven storage. NAB Product of the Year. Acquired by Sohonet in 2023. Asset Foundry is what he chose to build next: not another DAM, but the layer he watched every studio need while running one. Seventeen years of watching great work disappear into storage taught a simple lesson: the library that wins isn't the one you migrate into. It's the one that meets your files where they already live. 17 years building studio asset management 4 patents in metadata-driven storage Hundreds of films carried to delivery NAB Product of the Year , production category Where it runs Proven on the hardest libraries.

Your numbers. Pick one production; a wrapped one is perfect. Hand us its ShotGrid database or its screenplay and we turn it into the production's context brain, index the archive read-only, then run a context-aware test ingestion pipeline against it, with your agents on top. Nothing migrated. Nothing replaced. You keep everything we build. The pilot schedule The schedule WEEK 0 Scoping, 60 minutes Pick the production and the runway. We agree the asset set, success gates, access, and the sandbox for test output. WEEK 1 The brain Your ShotGrid export or screenplay becomes a queryable context brain: scenes, shots, cast and versions in one graph. WEEK 2 The index We index the production's archive read-only: checksums on every file, previews for RAW, EXR and legacy 3D, duplicates surfaced. Baseline measured. WEEK 3 The pipeline A context-aware test ingestion runs against the brain: files classified, tagged and routed, writing only to a sandbox you name. Sources untouched. WEEK 4 The second unit Agents go on top over MCP, the open agent-connector standard: questions that join ShotGrid and the script, on-model generation tests, the pipeline on demand. We walk the findings report with your team. Two runways Two runways · your call at scoping Runway A · Our cloud (recommended) Fastest start: nothing to install, no deployment to approve. The pilot runs on Fortify's existing cloud, pointed at archival data you choose: read-only credentials to an archive location, a copy-drop, or just a StorageDNA catalog export, which is metadata only. Week 1 starts within days. Single-tenant, encrypted, deleted and verified at wrap. Runway B · Your environment The production posture from day one: services in your AWS VPC or on an on-prem VM, compute and content inside your walls, with week-4 agent and generation calls only to providers you approve. The trade: security review and deployment approval come first, typically adding weeks before week 1.

Every measure lands in the findings report in your numbers, not ours. Questions How long is the Asset Foundry pilot? The Asset Foundry pilot runs four weeks, plus a 60-minute scoping session. Week one builds a context brain from your ShotGrid database or screenplay, week two indexes the production's archive read-only, week three runs a context-aware test ingestion pipeline into a sandbox you name, and week four puts agents on top and delivers a findings report in your numbers. Does the pilot require installing software in our environment? No. The fastest runway runs from Fortify's cloud, pointed at archival data you choose: read-only credentials, a copy-drop, or a StorageDNA catalog export that is metadata only. Deployment into your AWS or on-prem environment is the production posture and is available as the second runway. What do we keep after the pilot? Everything built during the Asset Foundry pilot: the context graph of your production, the searchable metadata index, and the findings report with every measure in your numbers. The ask is small Name the production. We bring the plan. Your commitment: the production, its ShotGrid export or script, and 60 minutes for scoping. Your exposure: archival data you choose, read-only sources, sandboxed output, deletion verified at wrap.
