What it does, depending on what you do
A board stays true only if everybody touching it is getting something out of it. Here is what each job gets, and what it asks of them, which for most is nothing.
Post
- Post SupervisorStop being the place answers liveAsks of youNothing daily. Setting up your show once, and then it runs on what people actually do.
- Post CoordinatorThe status chase endsAsks of youNothing that is not already your job. You stop re-keying facts other systems already hold.
- Post ProducerSee the whole season without a status meetingAsks of youNothing. You read it.
Editorial
- EditorBe told what is yours, then left aloneAsks of youNothing. No status to maintain, no daily update, no tickets to close. Anything that asked an editor to keep a field current would be abandoned in a week, so nothing does.
- Assistant EditorStop being asked for the same file twiceAsks of youNothing beyond the work. Nothing asks you to re-key what the storage already knows.
Finishing and vendors
- Online EditorKnow the cut is locked before you conformAsks of youNothing. Your completion is recorded from finishing the step.
- Audio / SweeteningGet the handoff with the version on itAsks of youNothing. Being an outside vendor does not mean being outside the board.
- Captioning / LocalizationOne place that says what is ready and what is clearedAsks of youNothing. You are a destination on the delivery list like any other.
- Standards & PracticesYour note is attached to the episode, not an inboxAsks of youThat your note goes on the episode rather than into an email. That is the whole change.
Production

The demo is the real software on a made-up show. Open a queue and press the button on a card. Watch it move without anybody updating anything.
Walkthroughs are with someone who spent 15 years as an assistant editor, not a sales rep. Who builds it.
