Operational sequence

Follow the work from first move to final handoff.

Each stage carries the production record forward so the next team begins with the context it needs.

  1. Plan

    Set the project and budget context

    Open the production with the working project structure, budget context, responsibilities, and approvals that downstream teams need.

  2. Cast

    Move casting decisions into the record

    Connect roles, auditions, selections, and representatives so booked talent enters the production with the right casting context.

  3. Clear

    Review contracts, startwork, and readiness

    Bring contracts and startwork into worker onboarding, then give production and payroll teams a clear readiness review before work begins.

  4. Run

    Coordinate the working production

    Keep call sheets, timesheets, schedule changes, and creative review attached to the project instead of scattering the operating record.

  5. Pay

    Turn approved work into payroll

    Carry approved time and engagement context into payroll review while keeping exceptions visible to the teams responsible for resolution.

  6. Close

    Close with project health intact

    Review project health, finish outstanding payroll and creative work, and preserve the connected production record for closeout.
