Everything ClearCut does
Built for evidence, not opinions.
Seven capability areas, from script import through a reproducible clearance report. Every one designed so a human stays accountable and the record survives scrutiny.
Every draft becomes a permanent record.
Import Fountain, Final Draft, or pasted text. ClearCut parses the screenplay into stable elements and saves an immutable version the workflow never overwrites.
- Three parsersFountain, FDX, and paste, each deterministic. PDF is rejected until a deterministic parser is configured.
- Stable spansScenes, characters, and dialogue get identities that survive rewrites.
- Coloured stockWhite pages, then blue, pink, yellow — the film convention for revisions.
Live sources, full provenance, conflicts intact.
Gemini detects items across ten clearance categories. Parallel retrieves current sources with authority tiers and retrieval timestamps. Disagreement is shown, never smoothed over.
- Ten categoriesBrands, people, places, music, quotes, names, privacy, products, insignia, artwork.
- Complete provenanceURL, retrieval time, excerpt, publisher class, stance, query identity, snapshot ID.
- Zero evidence is unresolvedA failed search creates a review item — never a clear result.
Every call has a name, a version, and a reason.
Five fixed roles with backend-enforced authorization. Assignments, due dates, threaded comments, and governed decisions that commit with their audit event in one transaction.
- Fixed rolesOwner, Admin, Editor, Reviewer, Viewer. Not UI-only gating.
- Governed decisionsVerify, rule out, refer, rewrite — each with rationale and audit.
- Threaded discussionReplies, edit history, @mentions, and system action entries in one timeline.
A rewrite never edits the old copy.
Upload a revised draft and ClearCut commits it as the next immutable version, diffs it passage by passage, and re-checks only what changed — everything you settled stays settled.
- Immutable versionsA revision is a new version with a recorded predecessor. Earlier drafts are never overwritten.
- Selective re-scanOnly modified and added passages re-run. Untouched evidence carries forward with its original provenance.
- Confirmation requiredCarried evidence is marked for human confirmation; a prior decision stays attached to the version that made it.
A package your lawyer can actually use.
Generation freezes every item, cited source, conflict, and human decision into one self-contained document, bound to a SHA-256 hash of its canonical manifest. Release is a separate human attestation. The released document never silently changes.
- Frozen snapshotsPost-release changes cannot alter a released report.
- Full evidence chainPer item: category, status, every claim with source URL, publisher, authority tier, stance, and quoted excerpt — plus conflicts, decisions, and open items disclosed rather than hidden.
- Deterministic HTMLOne print-ready HTML file, byte-identical for identical input. Generated PDF output is not implemented; print to PDF from the browser.
Protected rules only a person can change.
Permissions, approval policy, category definitions, source-authority tiers, and legal-boundary language are human-only and Owner-governed. No automated process touches them.
- Same-transaction auditEvery governed action commits with its immutable AuditEvent.
- Tenant isolationOrganization and project scope enforced in repositories, not just routes.
- Hardened uploadsMagic-byte validation and FDX entity blocking on every import.
The system grades its own work — and shows you.
A separate judge model scores ten dimensions. Deterministic gates run first and a high score never overrides a blocker. Improvements go through regression, shadow, and canary with automatic rollback.
- Ten judged dimensionsRecall, grounding, authority, conflict, uncertainty, rewrites, re-scan, legal boundary, efficiency.
- Deterministic gates firstBlockers cannot be overridden by a good score.
- Bounded learningOnly query phrasing, examples, prompts, and preferences. Never permissions or policy.
