A feasibility engine for agency producers. Script to reality check in under five minutes.
Time is the one thing we don't have. These scenarios play out every week.
"Can we do this?" lands at 9am. Client meeting at 4pm. You need a feasibility answer in hours, not days.
Pitch was meant to be one route. Now it's four. Each needs budget reality-checking before the client sees them.
A project passed on from another team. Already "budgeted" - but every production company quote comes back over.
Before production companies even see the script. Before the client commits. Just: is this achievable or not?

Full breakdown of locations, setups, VFX, talent and specialist techniques
GREEN / AMBER / RED verdict with budget bands and recommended shoot days
AD-style time calculations. Realistic shoot days based on setups, locations and complexity, not a ballpark, a proper breakdown.
UK and EU production modes. Lean, standard and ambitious scenarios, conservative by design to protect your margin.
Automated detection of high-cost elements: MOCO, drone, high-speed, child talent, VFX, weather dependence, overtime exposure.
Walk into client meetings knowing your script is achievable. Set realistic expectations early. Then let production companies do their thing.
Brief is producible within budget
Achievable with scope or budget adjustment
Budget and brief are misaligned
When the script doesn't fit the budget, go back to creatives with specific alternatives, not just "it's too expensive."
ScriptOracle doesn't just flag problems - it offers pathways. For every RED verdict, you get specific alternative approaches with estimated savings. Walk into the creative review with solutions, not just obstacles.
ScriptOracle doesn't replace the production company bidding process - production companies still quote, negotiate and deliver exactly as they do today. It's used earlier, internally by the agency, to sanity-check a script's realism before it's ever sent out for those bids.
This isn't theoretical. ScriptOracle encodes hands-on UK and EU advertising production expertise.
Built by a working producer who understands the gap between creative vision and production reality.
Schedule simulation based on real shoot day mechanics: setups, resets, company moves, turnover time.
Designed to protect agency margins. Better to be pleasantly surprised than embarrassed by overruns.
Internal tool only. Not a replacement for production company relationships — just better preparation going in.
The engine combines two layers: published UK/EU production industry standards (day rates, overtime rules, working-time regulations for minors), and a calibrated benchmark set of production patterns - shoot days, budget ranges, complexity factors - informed by commercial production experience. No client names, brand identities, or confidential creative details are part of that calibration data; everything is reduced to sector and scope-level detail before it's used.
Scripts are passed through an automated redaction layer that identifies and strips brand names, agency names, production company names, and personal names before any text is sent to our AI provider - the AI itself never sees the raw, unredacted version. Content sent to our AI provider is contractually treated as confidential - they cannot use it to train their models, disclose it, or claim ownership of it - and under their standard policy, prompts and outputs sent through their API are not retained by default. Script content is encrypted before it's stored and is not retained beyond 30 minutes. The database requires authenticated access - there is no public version of this data.
Both. You can delete a script from your account at any time, and even if you don't, content automatically stops being retained 30 minutes after upload - revisiting an analysis after that means re-running it.
They're reviewed and refreshed periodically against current industry standards, rather than on a fixed automatic schedule. If a specific rate change is relevant to your usage, get in touch and we'll factor it in.
One credit = one script assessment. First five credits always free.
