Product / 03 / VOD & Screeners

Connect a recovered identifier to its configured delivery context.

When a sample yields a valid detection, Vestigit returns an opaque forensic identifier. A customer-controlled mapping can then link it to the configured delivery context, where that workflow has been validated.

One protected asset can branch into multiple attribution contexts. Select the one that matches your delivery workflow to preview the mapping shape and operational use.

Action

Vestigit can recover an opaque technical identifier, when a valid detection is possible.

The customer-controlled mapping can connect that identifier to an authorized delivery context.

The customer or appointed operator controls the decision and response.

Scenario model

Model the exposure window before action is taken.

Adjust the assumptions behind a VOD release or pre-release screener. Explore how assumed attribution and response times may affect modeled exposure.

Illustrative starting values — edit every assumption.

SVOD context: unit value represents an assumed value of one legal playback. The model selector changes context labels only and never inserts benchmark assumptions.

Chart summary — the dashed lighter curve is “Baseline assumptions” (no customer action). The solid cyan curve is “With modeled action after identification”, using your own assumed impact on further spread. Both curves are cumulative and monotonic and are identical until the customer-action marker, after which the modeled-response curve increases at a rate reduced by your assumption. Identification alone does not reduce spread — response actions remain customer-controlled.

Baseline modeled cumulative audience at horizon: 115,109. Modeled-response scenario: 115,109. Difference in modeled audience: 0. Values are derived deterministically from the assumptions above.

Assumptions and formula

Baseline curve: cumulative modeled audience follows a bounded curveR · (1 − exp(−3.2 · d / H))where R is the assumed unauthorized reach and H is the horizon in days.

Modeled-response curve: identical to baseline until the customer-action marker; after that point, additional cumulative audience is scaled by(1 − impact/100), where impact is your own estimate of the reduction in further spread. Identification alone does not reduce spread; the response action is customer-controlled.

Commercial exposure = final cumulative audience × unit value × assumed legal conversion.

This scenario is based solely on user-provided assumptions. It is not a prediction of piracy, detection performance, avoided loss or recovered revenue.
