Operations Maturity Audit — Publishing
Score how mature Publishing operations are — and pinpoint the weakest handoff to fix first.
What this audit examines in Publishing
- Catalog and metadata as a product — treating the metadata layer as the operational asset that drives everything from Amazon discoverability to international rights deals.
- Royalty and rights operations modernization — the once-in-30-years system replacement that moves royalty calculation off legacy and onto an architecture the audit clause can survive.
- AI policy for content creation and training — the publisher's operational position on AI-augmented editing, AI-generated content, and training-data licensing of the existing catalog.
- Editorial production pipeline industrialization — workflow automation across manuscript-to-final-file that protects the seasonal sales window and reduces the per-title production cost.
