Media, content & highlights
Getting usable content out of a match faster than the news cycle closes.
How this runs today
Clipping is manual. An editor scrubs the match recording to find the moments, exports them one at a time, and posts them well after the audience has moved on. Graphics are rebuilt by hand each week from a template. Sponsor-committed content is tracked on a checklist that only one person maintains, so delivery proof is assembled retrospectively at season end. Archive footage is effectively unsearchable because nothing was tagged at the time.

The framing grid
Crossing this theme against each product framing is what generates distinct ideas rather than one idea described several ways.
| Framing | The question it asks | Product pattern |
|---|---|---|
| Automate a workflow | Which manual handoff can disappear entirely? | A rules-driven workflow that assigns, escalates and closes the loop without anyone chasing it. |
| Analyse data | What is the data telling us that nobody has time to look for? | A reporting layer with a natural-language query surface over a unified data model. |
| Monitor | What is the current state, and what should trigger an alert? | A live status view plus a rules engine that pushes alerts to the people who can act on them. |
| Manage compliance | What obligation is about to lapse? | An obligation register with expiry monitoring, ownership, escalation and audit-ready evidence. |
| Voice or chat interface | Who is asking, and is anyone available to answer? | A voice or chat agent that answers, captures structured detail and schedules a human follow-up. |
| Research | What do we need to know that lives outside our systems? | A research agent that reads the sources, cites them, and produces a briefing an operator can act on. |
| Verify or inspect | Did someone actually check, and can we prove it? | A mobile checklist with photo capture, offline support, sign-off and an exportable evidence record. |
| Find the bottleneck | Where does this process actually stall? | A process map derived from timestamps in existing systems, with cycle-time distributions and stall-point alerts. |
Ideas (5)
Accessibility caption obligation register for published clips
An obligation register that tracks whether every published clip has met its captioning deadline, replacing the spreadsheet nobody trusts as evidence.
Clip rights and embargo clearance monitor
A live board showing the rights and embargo status of every match clip and highlight, with an alert the moment something is marked published ahead of clearance.
Live clip queue and publish deadline monitor
A live board tracking every match moment awaiting a clip, its publish deadline and its status, that alerts the coordinator before a highlight misses the news cycle.
Player media consent and image rights register
A register that tracks each athlete's media consent status and renewal date, so editors can check before a clip or photo featuring them goes out.
Sponsor content delivery monitor with escalation alerts
A live status board that tracks each sponsor's contracted content deliverables against the season calendar and alerts the owner before a commitment falls behind.
