Question 1

What is Phyvant for film and TV studios?

Accepted Answer

Phyvant is a custom-built AI platform for film and television studios. It gives your studio its own intelligence for royalty and participation reconciliation, rights and avails, and residuals and guild reporting, built from your own ledgers and deal terms, running inside your perimeter, with every figure cited to source. It works on structured business data only and never touches your creative IP. Unlike a generic AI subscription, the intelligence is yours to keep.

Question 2

Can AI reconcile royalty and participation statements?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Phyvant ingests inbound distributor and platform statements in mixed formats, normalizes them to one ledger, matches every line against the contractual split, recomputes the royalty against the deal terms, and flags variances. It surfaces underreported units, mismatched territories, and rate errors, so the dollars the statements left out are recovered and routed to finance with the cited lines. This is the same shape we ran at the world&rsquo;s largest private company, three weeks to five minutes, in production.

Question 3

Does Phyvant touch our scripts, footage, or creative IP?

Accepted Answer

No. Phyvant works on structured business data only, your royalty ledgers, distributor statements, deal memos, and rights metadata. It never ingests scripts, footage, masters, or any creative asset, and it is never trained on your IP. That separation is built into the platform, which is what lets legal and the guilds sign off and clears the hard IP gate before a single creative file is ever involved.

Question 4

Can AI compute residuals for SAG-AFTRA, WGA, and DGA?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Phyvant computes residuals against SAG-AFTRA, WGA, and DGA formulas using your production and exploitation data, generates the filings, and reconciles them against payroll. Because the work runs as a fixed, deterministic procedure, every cycle is computed the same way, on time, which cuts late-payment exposure and compliance risk.

Question 5

Can it abstract licensing contracts and deal memos?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Phyvant parses licensing agreements and deal memos from PDF into structured fields, territory, window, rights granted, holdbacks, minimum guarantees, and royalty terms, with a confidence score on every field and human review on low-confidence extractions. It turns unstructured paper into a queryable rights database that feeds every downstream reconciliation.

Question 6

How does Phyvant prevent AI hallucinations?

Accepted Answer

Phyvant does not improvise. Every figure is traced to a source record in your own data, a statement line, a deal term, a guild formula, and if the source is not there it says so instead of inventing a number. Because repeated work runs as a fixed, deterministic procedure, the same question returns the same answer every time, which is what makes a result defensible to an auditor, the guilds, or a regulator.

Question 7

What are deterministic AI workflows, and why are they audit-ready?

Accepted Answer

A deterministic AI workflow runs as a fixed procedure, so the same input produces the same output every time and every step is logged. Phyvant encodes your recurring finance, rights, and residuals work this way, which makes results reproducible and defensible, unlike a generic AI chatbot that can answer differently on each run. When an auditor, a participation accountant, or a guild asks how a number was reached, the full cited trail is there.

Question 8

Does it work with SAP, Vistex, Oracle, and Rightsline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Phyvant sits on top of your existing stack, SAP, Vistex Rights & Royalty Management, Oracle, and Rightsline, and runs the human assembly layer those systems do not cover, the reading, keying, matching, and reconciliation. The existing Salesforce and Oracle connectors read from your finance and rights systems directly, so there is no rip-and-replace and no model trained on your IP.

Question 9

Do we own the AI, and what happens if we leave Phyvant?

Accepted Answer

You own the intelligence. The documented procedures and captured judgment, how your studio runs royalty reconciliation, rights, and residuals encoded, are an asset you keep and reuse even if you stop working with Phyvant. It is not a rented model that leaves you with nothing.

Question 10

How does a pilot work?

Accepted Answer

A pilot is structured to clear your IP gate first. We start with one workflow, royalty and participation reconciliation, over four to six weeks, on structured back-office data only, with zero creative IP exposure and humans on every exception. We measure against your current cycle time and error rate, prove the recovered dollars and the saved hours, and then scale the same intelligence across the rest of the library.
