Free tool
Production readiness score tool.
Score whether a film or video team is ready to shoot, review, and hand off work. The tool checks script clarity, scene planning, shot lists, call sheets, locations, task ownership, footage workflow, and review setup.
What does the production readiness score measure?
The production readiness score measures whether a team has enough script, scene, shot, schedule, task, document, location, footage, and review context to move into production with fewer surprises. A high score means the project has visible owners, clear blockers, usable documents, and a review path. A low score means the team should resolve planning gaps before the shoot or edit.
Calculate your production readiness score
Shot list and coverage
Are essential shots, optional shots, pickups, and coverage risks visible?
Call sheet and logistics
Are schedule, access, contacts, safety, weather, and location details ready?
Task ownership
Does every blocker have an owner, source, due date, and next action?
Footage workflow
Does the team know where footage goes and how clips will be reviewed?
Review and handoff
Are rough cut review, approvals, pickups, and editor handoff defined?
Score: 60/100
Your production is partially ready. Resolve the weakest categories before the shoot or review milestone.
How to interpret the score
80-100: Ready with normal risk
The team has enough context to move. Check the weakest category, then proceed with normal production discipline.
60-79: Ready with visible gaps
The project can move, but the team should resolve weak areas before they become shoot-day or review blockers.
Below 60: Planning review needed
Pause for a short readiness meeting. The weakest category probably hides a real production consequence.
Use the score as a conversation starter
The number is less important than the weakest categories. A project can score well overall and still be blocked by missing location access, unclear shot priority, or undefined review ownership. Use the score to decide what must be solved next.
