- Commercial safety policy: use owned, licensed, partner-provided, or fictional assets and avoid unauthorized logos, packaging, trademarks, campaigns, likenesses, music, choreography, and endorsements.
- Cost transparency policy: track duration, input type, reference complexity, audio, retry count, output result, review outcome, and cost per approved clip.

## Prompt Reuse Checklist

- Start from a prompt category that matches the job: product ad, UGC ad, ecommerce, vertical hook, cinematic shot, image-to-video, audio-video, or character consistency.
- Use owned or authorized references and state exactly what each reference controls.
- Keep the first Seedance test to one subject, one motion, one camera path, and one final payoff.
- Record duration, aspect ratio, input type, audio, retry count, output result, review outcome, and cost per approved clip.
