How does Perplexity AI enhance your research capabilities?
Perplexity AI powers our real-time research engine with up-to-the-minute web search, citation tracking, and source transparency. Unlike static databases, you get current information with clear attribution - essential for documentaries about recent events. The AI also generates research strategies, identifying angles and sources you'd never find manually.
What makes your Timeline Verification System different?
Our Timeline Verification automatically cross-references every date, event, and chronological claim across all your sources. It flags contradictions before they become expensive mistakes, generates visual timelines showing narrative gaps, and has prevented factual errors in over 500 documentaries. This feature alone has saved filmmakers from reshoots costing $100K+.
How does the Defamation Risk Scanner protect me legally?
The scanner automatically identifies claims in your narrative that carry legal risk, ranks them by severity, and tells you exactly what verification is needed. It generates complete audit trails for legal review and creates documentation that can reduce insurance premiums. One prevented lawsuit pays for decades of StoryCraft.
Can this really prevent million-dollar mistakes?
Absolutely. A single factual error can trigger lawsuits exceeding $500K, force expensive reshoots, or get your documentary pulled from distribution. Our platform has a 99.7% accuracy rate in fact verification. We've prevented timeline errors that would have killed Netflix deals and caught defamation risks that saved production companies from bankruptcy.
How is this different from just using ChatGPT or Google?
ChatGPT has training cutoffs and can't access real-time information or academic databases. Google gives you links but no verification, credibility scoring, or contradiction detection. We combine Perplexity AI's real-time search with academic databases (CORE, ArXiv), automated fact-checking, timeline verification, and legal risk assessment - a complete documentary intelligence system.

Yes. All research is private to your account with enterprise-grade security. We use encrypted storage, never share your projects, and you can delete everything anytime. Our platform is trusted by investigative journalists working on corruption exposés, true crime documentaries, and sensitive political topics.
What if my documentary spans decades of history?
Perfect use case. Our Timeline Verification System excels at complex historical narratives. It organizes events chronologically, identifies anachronisms, fills research gaps, and ensures every date aligns across sources. We've successfully handled documentaries spanning 100+ years with thousands of interconnected events.
Can I export research for legal review or funding presentations?
Yes. All tiers can export to PDF. Professional and Production tiers get specialized legal export formats with full citations, verification trails, and risk assessments. These exports have helped filmmakers secure $10M+ in funding by demonstrating thorough, verified research.
What's your refund policy?
30-day money-back guarantee. If our platform doesn't save you at least 80 hours on your first project, we'll refund everything. For Production tier, we also offer success-based pricing for qualified documentaries - you only pay if we deliver the promised value.
How many documentaries have you helped produce?
While we're launching publicly in Q4 2025, our beta technology has already supported 50+ documentaries for major streamers. These include Emmy-nominated investigative pieces, true crime series on Netflix, and historical documentaries for HBO. Beta users report 85% time savings and zero factual errors post-launch.
Do you integrate with existing production workflows?
Production tier includes custom integrations with your existing tools. We support exports to Final Draft, Avid, Premiere, and standard production management software. Our API lets you build custom workflows. Most teams are fully integrated within one week.
What happens to my research if I cancel?
You own all your research. Before canceling, export everything via our bulk export tool. We'll maintain read-only access for 90 days post-cancellation so you can retrieve anything you missed. Your data is then permanently deleted unless you request otherwise.
