Ledger for creative propertyBeing finished

Chain of Title

A ledger of everything your people have made, the deals made on it, and the paper that proves it.

Ask to carry your name

A ledger of works, each row a book, app or file with its licensing deals, its next renewal date and the document that proves who made it.

What is seen

A ledger of works, each row a book, app or file with its licensing deals, its next renewal date and the document that proves who made it.

What it does for your people

Each work sits in its own row: the book, the app, the file, its versions, the licensing deals made on it, the renewal that falls due, the document that proves it belongs to its maker. Nothing is left scattered across inboxes. For a publisher, studio or practice that holds other people's work, it becomes the place you show anyone who asks. Under licence it takes your name, your domain and your colours, with a database of its own. The rooms are drawn and the ledger is being connected. It is not open yet, and can be finished with you.

What white label means here

Chain of Title is the house's name for it. Under licence it takes yours. The people who use it see your name at the top, your domain in the address, your colours on the page, and never the house's.

  • Your nameThe app is introduced as yours, on every screen they open.
  • Your domainIt answers at an address you hold, so the link you give is the link they keep.
  • Your recordsWhat your people write in it is kept in a database of its own, as yours, not pooled with anyone else's.

It is being finished. It can be finished with you, so that the version you carry is shaped by the people it is for.

What it includes

  • Works recorded as assets, with versions
  • Licensing deals and renewals
  • Sealed ownership documents
  • Notes on each work

Who it is for

Publishers, studios, literary agencies and the lawyers who serve them.

Read beside the field it serves, the consultancy, the OD firm, the B Corp: The instrument from the workshop, kept in the client's hands under your firm's name.

What stands behind it

It was made beside the house's work with organisations, which reads a company as a living system and looks for where its work is held up.

The books it was made beside are kept in The Library, to be read before any conversation, so the voice the app speaks in is known first.

How a yes goes

  1. Read from The Library, so the voice behind Chain of Title is known before anything is asked.
  2. See Chain of Title beside the apps chosen with it for your field, below.
  3. Request a conversation. A few lines are enough: your name, your practice, and which app.
  4. The fitting: Chain of Title shown wearing your name and your colours.
  5. The terms, in sentences: what you keep, what it costs, and how you would leave.
  6. Live on your domain, with your people's records in a database of its own.

The terms are set in conversation with Ammanuel and written in sentences, never on this page.

Chosen with it

Made to be kept, under the name it is kept by.

A licence begins with one conversation: which app, under what name, for whom, and what it should do that it does not do yet.
