A logic engine for screenplays in development and production. We de‑risk stories for studios and producers who never want to be three weeks from release without an ending — logic checks before greenlight, verified options for creatives when a crisis comes.
Reshoots, deep story restructuring during production, and fixing endings on the fly are impacting movie quality and putting 9‑figure investments at risk. Don’t take our word for it.
“The reason why the movie industry is dying… is because people are making movies without a finished screenplay.”
James Gunn · co-CEO, DC Studios
“Like laying down new train track while conducting the moving train.”
Nina Jacobson, producer · on hiring a script doctor weeks before cameras
→Story failure is the only 9‑figure risk that Hollywood can’t price.
Collision makes the story testable. We compile the screenplay into a runnable model of its own logic, play it forward hundreds of ways, and prove every survivor against the record the story itself has built — so structural problems surface on the page while they are still cheap to fix, or can be responded to quickly during production.
Ask it for endings and it generates genuinely different ones, forced apart by design, each consistent with everything your script has already set up. And because the model is the script’s own record, the results can’t flatter you: every option is checked against the several hundred promises the story itself has made — not against an AI’s taste.
The industry has already tested the obvious shortcut — AI coverage, six products, thin wrappers on frontier models. They failed for a named reason: they flattered the writer. “AI never passed on anything. It loved everything it read.” (CineMontage). A wrapper inherits the model’s urge to please; separating generation from verification is what removes it.
One engine, dialed from zero to crisis. The difference is the size of the question, not the machinery — and the earlier you ask, the cheaper the answer.
at greenlight
Answers “are there structural problems in this script?” at the moment of greenlight — instead of stress-testing the story by shooting it. Does the story keep its own contract, and does it carry the defect classes that historically draw expensive interventions.
hundreds of runs, measured against the corpus — percentiles, not verdicts
for everything in between
Assesses the story impact of a note — a hypothetical change to the story — locating everything that would have to change with it and what that costs structurally, including when two notes contradict. It never has an opinion of its own; it prices the humans’.
one note, and everything that must move with it — the untouched story stays quiet
in a crisis
When a production needs to pivot, generates a menu of story options — each verifiably consistent with the story’s own logic and the constraints you state. When no option survives, it says so.
hundreds of candidates — the options that survive the story’s own record
Assessments are private engagements. Confidentiality terms come first — before any pages change hands.
Nothing you send us trains a model. Not ours, not anyone’s. Ever.
No. Collision doesn’t write pages — it generates a map of what to write. In a crisis, that’s a menu of story options, forced apart by design, each checked against your story’s own record before you ever see it. Writers write.
No — that’s the deterministic logic core. Generation and verification are separate layers: an AI proposes, and a deterministic engine checks each proposal against the compiled record of your script. The same input gives the same answer every time, with the receipts to show why.
No, and we never will. Collision measures whether a story keeps its own internal contract — and reports where it stands against a corpus as percentiles, never as odds. Outcome prediction is a different business, and in our view an unserious one.
It is handled under confidentiality terms. Your pages — and the story model we compile from them — are used only for your engagement, and they never train anything. Not our models, not anyone’s.
Not yet — assessments currently run as private engagements. Request a demo and we’ll walk you through a real one.
For our first round of studio and production partners: nothing. Assessments are free and confidential while we build the first body of partner work.
Or emergency story repair services, if you’re already in the weeds. Your data will never be used for training.
