Buyer guides & procurement

Event recap and documentation—what turnaround times actually mean

“Five business days” only holds if masters are approved, brand rules are stable, and nobody adds new interview picks on day four. This guide separates **calendar** commitments from **approval-bound** schedules so procurement sets internal expectations honestly.

Masters first, cutdowns second

Many teams need archival masters quickly and polished recaps second. Say so—sequencing changes crew and edit allocation.

Approvals multiply calendar time

Each review round needs named owners and SLAs. Open-ended “marketing will comment” timelines are not vendor problems—they are programme risks.

Music and stock affect export

Tracks without clearance cannot ship. Final audio locks should precede colour and graphics finalling.

Change control after the event

New picks from leadership after filming belong in a change order—or a later phase—not as silent scope creep inside the original recap fee.

Often yes—editorial capacity spent on publish windows may shift longer-form packages unless scoped as parallel roles.
