Intelligence Framework

The architecture behind every SDI product.

How SDI works · the CLE framework · the CDE framework · the five proprietary indices · the platform's scale.

From signal to decision

Five steps — continuously calibrated.

SDI ingests five signal layers, calibrates against the broadest structured film dataset in Indian cinema, scores the content and the campaign, forecasts opening and lifetime, and surfaces decision-grade outputs on demand. The platform compounds with every release.

01 · Ingest

Five signal layers

Consumer · Campaign · Digital · Performance · Benchmark — pulled into one continuously updated feed.

02 · Calibrate

10,000+ films

10+ languages · 49 genres. Every signal interpreted against the relevant comparable set — by genre, language and slot.

03 · Score

CLE & CDE

Strength on 0–10 scales, decomposable by bucket, with element-level reads.

04 · Forecast

First-day & lifetime

Decision-grade bands with confidence intervals — re-forecast as launch signals shift.

05 · Surface

Live dashboards

MarketIQ for the always-on industry view. Product reports for project-level decisions.

Powered by SDI's proprietary intelligence frameworks, historical benchmarking and predictive models.

Campaign Driving Elements (CDE)

What the campaign can get out of the content.

CDE measures what the campaign can get out of the content. It predicts first-day box office and is deployed before campaign launch. 15 universal drivers across 5 buckets + 6 genre-specific drivers = 21 drivers per title, each scored 0–10.

"Opening = CDE. Lifetime = CLE."

The five proprietary indices

SDI's intelligence stack publishes five indices.

The IP behind LaunchIQ and MarketIQ. Simple on the surface, hundreds of signals underneath.

LaunchIQ

Theatrical Success Probability Index
Master pre-release launch index. Predicts opening strength.
MarketIQ
TSSI
Theatrical Sustenance Strength Index
Master post-release holding index. WOM, occupancy, retention.
Engine
TMI
Trailer Momentum Index
Trailer escalation, view velocity, campaign acceleration.
Engine
MMI
Music Momentum Index
Soundtrack penetration, repeat engagement, reel adoption.
Engine
SPI
Star Power Index
Talent pull, fandom intensity, launch amplification.
