In response to the question 'What happens after upload and how do Producers find the script and get in touch' I got this as a response. (they've also agreed to an interview)
Hi there, first of all as a company our core business is providing AI script analysis. Our current client base (film funds, production companies, distributors/sales agents & 2 major film studios) have been asking if we could provide them with a pipeline of 'AI validated' projects. Our new marketplace is the answer to that question. As an AI company our focus remains tech. All we do is hand over contact details of writers to an interested party and we get out of the way. Our current client base have already signed a yearly license with us to validate their own projects . In that sense there's no pressure on us to make money out of writers. We think the companies should be paying for services not the writers.
So I threw JOHN LENNON'S HEAVEN up there, for giggles. I must be stupid when it comes to statistics because I can't figure out where it's plotting me. X and Y axis (axes?) are my kryptonite...
And I failed the Bechel test because I do not have two female characters conversing about a subject other than a man; however I have a very strong female lead; which they characterized as the antagonist.

That particular chart was my favorite.
The vertical represented how critic-pleasing your script is. The horizontal represents how mainstream it is. Upper-left is your best bet for making money. Upper-right is the wacky award bait. Don't be the bottom-anything, especially bottom-right.
So when I pick production budget on the x and audience reach on y, I am top left - is that good? I'm near BROOKLYN and LA LA LAND... which is so representative of reality...

I got an email from them this morning saying that since 60 FEET UNDER was one of the "very few with a high financial prediction," they've unlocked the financial information to give it higher visibility.
Thought that was cool.

60 Feet Under - Low budget, contained thriller/Feature The Hand of God - Low budget, semi-contained thriller/Feature Wait Till Next Year - Disney-style family sports comedy/Feature
Many shorts available for production: comedy, thriller, drama, light horror
I see you've got a green light and you're going to take in $30-60MM - very cool!
You better believe I'll be using this info to pitch the script!
The unlocked financial information is pretty cool to see. Predicts gross for individual countries even. 1M just in Australia. Though, it didn't get so fine as to tell me how many times Warren is predicted to see it. (I'm guessing 3 times. Twice just to throw things at my name on the screen.)
Shaka, Warren.

FYI, been conversing with their sales team through email.
Very nice, very responsive.
They'll be adding more writer-centric feedback in the future, as they build the marketplace out.
Side note: I think it'd be cool if I could run a script through the AI without it going onto the marketplace. That way I could make changes if a problem were identified (ex: my script being too male dominated in dialogue.) Then, when it looks ready, throw it on their marketplace.
They emphasize that the producers would pay for the service, not the writer. If so, this could turn into a very interesting tool for us.
It'd be great if this model worked.

Their CEO has agreed to an interview with me... message me any questions you'd like posing.
Done.
Thanks!
