- 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.

No real actor likeness, no brand signage, no copyrighted poster, no dialogue, no hard cuts.
- Rewrite rule: Replace subject, setting, reference role, camera path, final payoff, and cost assumptions with the user's owned or authorized material.
