StoryDNA™

Story is the foundation.
Everything else multiplies it.

Talent, budget, platform, timing. They all move the numbers. But none of them mean anything until you understand the story underneath.

The premise

For 10 years, our models have been built on story.

Story, read deep enough, locates a title within the content landscape. Go deeper still and you see how talent, budget, outlet, and timing influence story, the critical part of a title’s success.

StoryDNA™

StoryDNA™ is the key to everything.

Most platforms classify content at the genre level. We went nine layers deeper: over 1,000 classifications per title. We call it StoryDNA™. Coded by humans. Validated by machines.

The discovery

Going deep revealed the drivers.

Ten years modeling story elements against performance and retention data. The depth was the unlock. It let us isolate the drivers behind every metric: demand, retention, fanship, travel, freshness. We can see which elements move each one, and by how much, then simulate the choices that change the story, the audience, and the outcome.
