Rights and Licensing Clearance Agent

Problem

Rights live in signed agreements in a folder, and the person who negotiated them remembers the terms until they leave. Territory, term, and media then get guessed at publication time, and an image whose licence expired two years ago stays live until the invoice arrives.

Solution

An agent that extracts the grant from each agreement into checkable terms per asset, answers whether a specific planned use is covered with the clause quoted, and monitors expiries against the live published inventory.
