If no arguments, perform a full rights management audit.</p>\n<h1>============================================================\nPHASE 1: RIGHTS DATA MODEL DISCOVERY</h1>\n<p>Step 1.1 -- Rights Catalog Structure</p>\n<p>Scan for content rights data models:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Title/work registry (films, series, episodes, albums, tracks, compositions)</li>\n<li>Rights holder entities (studios, labels, publishers, distributors, creators)</li>\n<li>Rights bundle definitions (theatrical, home video, SVOD, AVOD, FAST, linear TV)</li>\n<li>Territory definitions (ISO 3166 country codes, regional groupings, worldwide)</li>\n<li>Holdback and availability windows (start date, end date, exclusivity periods)</li>\n<li>Chain of title documentation links</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Step 1.2 -- Licensing Agreement Structures</p>\n<p>Identify how licensing deals are modeled:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>License types (exclusive, non-exclusive, co-exclusive, first-run, library)</li>\n<li>Term definitions (fixed period, perpetuity, in-perpetuity-less-one-day)</li>\n<li>Territory grants (country-level, language-based, platform-specific)</li>\n<li>Revenue models (flat fee, minimum guarantee + overage, revenue share, per-subscriber)</li>\n<li>Delivery requirements (formats, metadata, materials, deadlines)</li>\n<li>Renewal and option mechanics (auto-renew, first-negotiation, last-refusal)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Step 1.3 -- Music Rights Mapping</p>\n<p>If music content is involved, map the rights ecosystem:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Composition rights (publishing): songwriter, publisher, administrator</li>\n<li>Master recording rights: artist, label, distributor</li>\n<li>Performance rights organizations: ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, GMR (US); PRS, GEMA, SACEM (international)</li>\n<li>Mechanical royalties: HFA/MLC (US), MCPS (UK), via DDEX/CWR reporting</li>\n<li>Synchronization licenses: master sync + composition sync clearance workflow</li>\n<li>Public performance licenses: blanket vs per-program, direct licensing</li>\n<li>Digital performance (SoundExchange): statutory rate for non-interactive streaming</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Step 1.4 -- Standards and Protocol Compliance</p>\n<p>Check for industry standard adoption:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>DDEX (Digital Data Exchange): ERN (release notification), DSR (sales reporting),\nMWN (musical works notification), RDR (recording data)</li>\n<li>EIDR (Entertainment Identifier Registry) for audiovisual content</li>\n<li>ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) for sound recordings</li>\n<li>ISWC (International Standard Musical Work Code) for compositions</li>\n<li>ISAN/V-ISAN for audiovisual works</li>\n<li>CWR (Common Works Registration) for musical works</li>\n<li>GRD/IPI for interested party identification</li>\n</ul>\n<h1>============================================================\nPHASE 2: TERRITORY AND WINDOW MANAGEMENT</h1>\n<p>Step 2.1 -- Availability Window Logic</p>\n<p>Analyze how content availability is managed:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Window sequencing (theatrical &gt; EST/VOD &gt; SVOD &gt; AVOD &gt; FAST &gt; free TV)</li>\n<li>Territory-specific window offsets and holdbacks</li>\n<li>Day-and-date release handling</li>\n<li>Blackout periods and moratorium windows</li>\n<li>Exclusive vs non-exclusive window transitions</li>\n<li>Stacking rules (can the same title be on multiple platforms simultaneously?)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Step 2.2 -- Territory Conflict Detection</p>\n<p>Evaluate territory rights conflict handling:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Overlapping grant detection (same rights, same territory, same window)</li>\n<li>Sub-licensing authorization verification</li>\n<li>Regional vs country-level grant conflicts</li>\n<li>Language rights vs territory rights distinction</li>\n<li>Geo-blocking and geo-filtering enforcement data</li>\n<li>Cross-border streaming rights (EU portability regulation compliance)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Step 2.3 -- Window Optimization Analysis</p>\n<p>Check for window management intelligence:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Holdback duration benchmarking against market norms</li>\n<li>Revenue impact modeling per window configuration</li>\n<li>Cannibalization analysis between overlapping windows</li>\n<li>Market-specific release strategy data (theatrical window compression trends)</li>\n<li>Expiry alerting and renewal decision support</li>\n</ul>\n<h1>============================================================\nPHASE 3: ROYALTY CALCULATION ENGINE</h1>\n<p>Step 3.1 -- Revenue Recognition and Allocation</p>\n<p>Analyze royalty calculation logic:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Revenue source identification (subscription, advertising, transactional, performance)</li>\n<li>Revenue pool definitions (how gross revenue becomes distributable revenue)</li>\n<li>Market share allocation methods (pro-rata by plays, curation-based, user-centric)</li>\n<li>Minimum guarantee (MG) recoupment and overage calculations</li>\n<li>Advance accounting (cross-collateralization rules, recoupment waterfalls)</li>\n<li>Multi-territory revenue consolidation and currency conversion</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Step 3.2 -- Rate Structures and Calculations</p>\n<p>Evaluate royalty rate implementation:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Statutory rates (mechanical royalty: $0.12/unit or $0.024/min for US)</li>\n<li>Negotiated rates (contract-specific overrides, most-favored-nation clauses)</li>\n<li>Tiered rates (rate changes based on volume thresholds)</li>\n<li>Escalation clauses (annual rate increases, CPI adjustments)</li>\n<li>Co-writer and co-publisher splits (fractional ownership)</li>\n<li>Producer royalty and artist royalty calculations (all-in vs fund)</li>\n<li>Performance royalty distribution (writer share vs publisher share)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Step 3.3 -- Statement Generation and Distribution</p>\n<p>Check royalty statement workflows:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Statement periods (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual)</li>\n<li>Statement format compliance (DDEX DSR, custom templates)</li>\n<li>Withholding tax calculations by territory (treaty rates, W-8BEN-E)</li>\n<li>Reserve policies (returns reserve, audit reserve)</li>\n<li>Payment processing (threshold minimums, payment methods, currency)</li>\n<li>Self-service portal for rights holders to access statements</li>\n</ul>\n<h1>============================================================\nPHASE 4: RIGHTS CLEARANCE WORKFLOWS</h1>\n<p>Step 4.1 -- Clearance Request Processing</p>\n<p>Analyze rights clearance workflows:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clearance request intake (title, territories, rights needed, term, platform)</li>\n<li>Rights availability search (catalog lookup, chain of title check)</li>\n<li>Conflict detection (existing grants, holdbacks, exclusivity)</li>\n<li>Quote generation (rate cards, negotiated rates, comparable deal precedents)</li>\n<li>Approval routing (business affairs, legal, finance, rights owner)</li>\n<li>License document generation and execution tracking</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Step 4.2 -- Music Clearance Specifics</p>\n<p>If music clearance exists, evaluate:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sync license request workflow (identify rights holders, request quotes)</li>\n<li>Master + sync dual clearance tracking (both sides must clear)</li>\n<li>Cue sheet generation (scene, usage type, duration, composer, publisher)</li>\n<li>Pre-cleared music library integration</li>\n<li>Music supervisor workflow tools</li>\n<li>Sample clearance tracking (interpolation, replay, master sample)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Step 4.3 -- Clip and Third-Party Clearance</p>\n<p>Check for additional clearance types:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Film/TV clip licensing workflow</li>\n<li>Stock footage and photo licensing</li>\n<li>Brand and trademark clearance (product placement, set dressing)</li>\n<li>Talent likeness and name rights</li>\n<li>Location release tracking</li>\n<li>Archive and news footage clearance</li>\n</ul>\n<h1>============================================================\nPHASE 5: CONTRACT COMPLIANCE AND AUDIT</h1>\n<p>Step 5.1 -- Obligation Tracking</p>\n<p>Evaluate contract compliance monitoring:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Delivery obligation tracking (materials, metadata, deadlines)</li>\n<li>Minimum guarantee payment schedules</li>\n<li>Output commitment fulfillment (minimum number of titles)</li>\n<li>Marketing spend commitments</li>\n<li>Reporting frequency compliance (monthly/quarterly reports on time)</li>\n<li>Termination trigger monitoring (material breach, insolvency, change of control)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Step 5.2 -- Audit Readiness</p>\n<p>Check audit preparation capabilities:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Transaction-level detail retention (individual streams, downloads, views)</li>\n<li>Audit trail from statement amount back to source data</li>\n<li>Third-party audit clause compliance (access provisions, timeframes)</li>\n<li>Historical data retention (typically 3-7 years per contract)</li>\n<li>Discrepancy resolution workflow (over/under payment tracking)</li>\n<li>Audit finding remediation and true-up processing</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Step 5.3 -- Regulatory Compliance</p>\n<p>Evaluate regulatory compliance features:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>MLC (Mechanical Licensing Collective) reporting for US streaming</li>\n<li>EU Copyright Directive Article 17 compliance (value gap, upload filtering)</li>\n<li>Collective rights management organization reporting</li>\n<li>Transparency reporting requirements (EU DSM Directive Article 19)</li>\n<li>GDPR/privacy implications for rights holder personal data</li>\n<li>Anti-piracy and content protection integration (DRM, watermarking)</li>\n</ul>\n<h1>============================================================\nPHASE 6: WRITE REPORT</h1>\n<p>Write analysis to <code>docs/rights-management-analysis.md</code> (create <code>docs/</code> if needed).</p>\n<p>Include: Executive Summary, Rights Data Model Assessment, Territory/Window Management,\nRoyalty Engine Analysis, Clearance Workflow Evaluation, Compliance Status, and Recommendations.</p>\n<h1>============================================================\nSELF-HEALING VALIDATION (max 2 iterations)</h1>\n<p>After producing output, validate data quality and completeness:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Verify all output sections have substantive content (not just headers).</li>\n<li>Verify every finding references a specific file, code location, or data point.</li>\n<li>Verify recommendations are actionable and evidence-based.</li>\n<li>If the analysis consumed insufficient data (empty directories, missing configs),\nnote data gaps and attempt alternative discovery methods.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>IF VALIDATION FAILS:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Identify which sections are incomplete or lack evidence</li>\n<li>Re-analyze the deficient areas with expanded search patterns</li>\n<li>Repeat up to 2 iterations</li>\n</ul>\n<p>IF STILL INCOMPLETE after 2 iterations:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flag specific gaps in the output</li>\n<li>Note what data would be needed to complete the analysis</li>\n</ul>\n<h1>============================================================\nOUTPUT</h1>\n<h2>Rights Management Analysis Complete</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Report:
