5. Constraints — what it does NOT do
- The Greenlight Score is deterministic and rule-based, mirroring studio greenlight criteria — it is not a machine-learning black box.
- QuickSummer provides analysis, validation, and warm introductions. It is not a registered broker-dealer and does not provide financial, legal, or tax advice.
- It does not guarantee financing, distribution, or that any project will be made.
- Focus is feature films in US and European (notably Estonian/EU) markets; it is not a general-purpose CRM or accounting system.
- Web-based only; no offline or native-app mode.
6. Use cases
- Model presales + gap financing for a $2M EU co-production and produce an investor-ready earnings waterfall.
- Validate a script package with a Greenlight Score before approaching financiers.
- Estimate Estonian/EU soft-money rebates against a planned spend.
- Generate a branded pitch-deck PDF from a project's financial model.
- Match a Greenlight-validated project to relevant investors, distributors, and co-production partners.
- Run sensitivity analysis to see which budget variables most threaten break-even.
7. Trust & methodology
- Operating since 2001. Affiliated production entities: Resonance Pictures, LP; Welcome Entertainment, LLC; One Film Producing, LLC.
- Scoring methodology is transparent and deterministic — see the AI Promise and IP Promise.
- This specification reflects only verifiable, factual capabilities. It carries no star ratings because QuickSummer does not yet maintain third-party review profiles; none are fabricated here.
