Risk Flags
Reality filming is the edit bottleneck — 61% of total edit hours
76.5 edit hrs from 30.6 raw hrs. Only 40% AI-automatable. Recommend 2x AI licences + dedicated Senior for reality cuts only.
BTS volume will overwhelm a single Junior Editor
10.5 raw hrs of observational footage = 21 edit hrs. Combined with Reality Junior load (23 hrs), one Junior cannot handle both streams.
Match footage depends on broadcast delivery timeline
Pre-negotiate SuperSport clean feed delivery within 48hrs of each fixture. Late feeds stack match edits into final week.
AI compile quality varies by footage type
70%+ accuracy on structured (interviews, match). 45-55% on observational (reality, BTS). Budget Junior QC pass on all AI selects.
Celeb/influencer scheduling may shift edit order
5% of show but often shot last. Build edit with placeholder slots; final celeb integration in last Senior pass.
