Reporting and oversight
Every statement checked before you see it
After launch, the reporting is how you know the deal is working. We verify every revenue statement against the contract, track what the publisher promised, and send you a monthly summary in plain English.
What oversight covers
Four things that happen after the signature
Revenue statement verification
Every statement the publisher issues is reconciled against the contract before you see it: revenue share, allowed deductions, recoupment maths, exchange rates and payment timing.
Commitment tracking
Marketing spend, launch obligations and reporting deadlines are tracked against what the contract actually says, with the evidence requested when it is not offered.
A route when something slips
A missed commitment or a late statement is raised with the publisher directly, documented, and followed through to a resolution. The reversion clauses negotiated up front give you a defined route out if one is never reached.
A monthly summary in plain English
Revenue, commitment status and anything we raised, in one page you can forward straight to your board. Not a spreadsheet, and not a glossary.
What a statement check involves
What we check, line by line
A revenue statement runs through platform fees, deductions, recoupment and exchange rates before it reaches your share. These are the four places we reconcile it against the contract.
- Line 1
The share
Gross to net, then your percentage, reconciled against the contract rather than read off the summary line.
- Line 2
The deductions
Platform fees, taxes, refunds and anything else taken before your share, each checked against what the contract allows.
- Line 3
The recoupment
If the publisher recoups localisation or marketing before profit share begins, the running total is tracked independently, so you can see how the threshold is progressing rather than waiting to be told it has cleared.
- Line 4
The timing
Reporting cycles and payment dates against the contract, so a slipped cycle is picked up in the same month rather than at year end.
Before you ask
The questions studios ask about reporting
How often do we hear from you?
Monthly, with the summary, and weekly through the launch window when things move fastest. Between those, you hear from us when something needs a decision, not on a schedule for its own sake.
Do we ever deal with the publisher directly?
You can, and some studios like to. The default is that we do, so the publisher has one point of contact who has read the contract and is tracking the commitments. Anything you want to raise, we raise.
What happens if a statement is wrong?
It goes back to the publisher with the discrepancy set out against the contract clause. Most are corrected in the next cycle. If a pattern emerges, the escalation record becomes the basis for renegotiation or exit.
