Internal Investment Decision Support
GEV Film Idea V-Score Analyst
The V-Score Analyst provides the final, quantifiable metric (the V-Score) for high-level greenlight decisions. It is the proprietary, multi-factor risk assessment system that synthesizes technical readiness, financial complexity, and commercial market fit.
THE GREENLIGHT METRIC
Projects must pass CleanScore (PRS > 95%) before being eligible for V-Score analysis and capital commitment.
The Four Inputs Synthesized for the V-Score
CleanScore Data (Technical)
Input: Production Readiness Score (PRS) and format efficiency.
Budget Predictor (Financial)
Input: Predicted Budget Tier and Complexity Drivers.
Market Correlation (Audience)
Input: Predictive performance against 10,000+ historical titles.
IP Suitability (Brand/Sequel)
Input: Potential for sequelization, spin-offs, and brand synergy (Brand Synergy V-Score).
1. The V-Score Calculation: Formula & Certainty
The final V-Score is a single, normalized percentage score (e.g., 94.2%) that summarizes the total commercial viability and risk profile of the IP. It is the core metric used to rank the GEV 100-Film slate.
- V-Score (Viability): Ranges from 0-100. Projects scoring >85 are prioritized for full development.
- Confidence Score: A secondary metric indicating the certainty of the V-Score based on data completeness (e.g., if CleanScore data was clean).
- Slate Ranking: The V-Score allows GEV to objectively sort its entire IP portfolio, ensuring capital is always allocated to the highest-potential projects.

The V-Score integrates technical, financial, and market data into one actionable metric.
2. Market Correlation & Competitive Set Analysis
A major component of the V-Score is the predictive market correlation, which assesses audience interest, thematic saturation, and competitive set performance against the logline's core elements.
[attachment_0](attachment)- Market Saturation Index: Flags ideas that are too similar to recent hits, identifying originality risk vs. trend resonance.
- Audience Segment Match: Predicts the demographic and psychographic fit based on the genre, themes, and rating targets.
- Genre Decay Rate: Tracks how quickly similar genres lose commercial traction, providing an optimal greenlight timeline.
