Market figures by format and period
A market figure needs a category, geography and base period. Print, ebook and audio data describe different channels; a forecast and a measured result also occupy different time frames.
Rights follow the work and edition
A publishing agreement identifies which work and rights it covers. Format, territory, term and edition determine how a clause applies, while a catalogue entry identifies a listed edition rather than the agreement behind it.
Digital payment records
Royalty reporting connects sales or licensed use to a payment calculation. Where digital assets or crypto-denominated transfers are discussed, the transaction record belongs alongside the contract, royalty base and reporting statement.
