Digital Publishing Contract Simulator
A SaaS application that allows digital creators to model complex publishing contracts. It visualizes the deduction waterfall, marketing caps, and total repayment thresholds to prevent predatory debt.
これが重要な理由
As an independent creator, negotiating a publishing agreement feels like stepping into a financial trap. You review the contract and see an exciting upfront advance, but buried in the dense legal text are complex deduction waterfalls, uncapped marketing expenses, and vague definitions of net revenue. You try to model the math in a spreadsheet, but it is confusing and prone to errors. You realize with dread that these hidden soft costs might push your repayment threshold so high that you will never actually see a royalty check. Without specialized financial modeling, you are negotiating blindly against well-resourced publishers who understand exactly how to manipulate these formulas to their advantage.
