The slate-level financial picture your relationships depend on.

Trusted by 8,000+ producers managing $2.7 billion in production spend.

Everything on this page serves the strategic, relational, and financial concerns that define the EP role — slate oversight, financing confidence, and greenlight intelligence.

Evaluate greenlight assumptions for new projects using historical actuals from completed ones
The EP view changes with the moment
Development, production, and delivery each demand different financial intelligence. The platform adapts to where you are in the lifecycle.
Greenlight decisions need sharper financial assumptions.
Before a project moves from development to production, the EP is evaluating whether the financing plan works, whether the budget assumptions are realistic, and whether the company can sustain the commitment. Saturation gives you historical data from prior productions to pressure-test those assumptions.
- Pull actuals from completed productions to benchmark budget assumptions on new projects
- Compare scenario budgets side by side before committing the company's position
- Share preliminary financials with potential co-financiers during packaging conversations
Answer the studio call with current numbers, not memory.
During the run of show, the EP's job is to maintain confidence across every party in the financing structure. When the bond company calls, when the studio executive asks, when the equity partner checks in — the answer needs to be current, credible, and immediate.
- Slate-level dashboard shows which productions are on track and which need attention
- Approve escalated overages with the trade-off already mapped against contingency
- Share real-time visibility with financing partners without creating work for your accounting team
Close the books and carry the intelligence forward.
After wrap, the EP cares about final cost, what the waterfall looks like, and what the production taught the company. Saturation makes close-out faster and turns every completed production into data that improves the next greenlight decision.
- Final cost reports generated from live data, not weeks of post-wrap reconciliation
- Historical actuals feed forward into templates and benchmarks for future projects
- Clean, auditable records for financier reporting and tax credit documentation
