Courcast’s purpose
Courcast brings scattered signals into a single workspace for anime decision makers. Every chart, table, and interaction is designed to highlight attention shifts, support renewal planning, and coordinate marketing moments.
CourScore contract
CourScore is the probability of an official sequel announcement within 18 months. Coverage reflects how much of the signal mix was available, while freshness grades how recent the signals are (High/Medium/Low).
• CourScore updates daily using AniList, MyAnimeList, and public engagement feeds.
• Coverage shows how much of the signal mix was available for a title on that run.
• Freshness highlights how recent those signals are (High/Medium/Low).
• Runway caps near-term probability if the source looks fully adapted, unless confirmed evidence exists.
Signals we prioritise
Courcast blends major signal families, balancing domestic and global demand with feasibility and time-based constraints.
• Domestic demand: JP retail ranks, source sales velocity, and local streaming signals.
• Global attention: search, social, and cross-platform ratings momentum.
• Feasibility: source runway, studio bandwidth, and production pipeline status.
• Time: how long it has been since the finale or last announcement window.
Confirmed & Verified
Confirmation and verification provide transparency without overwhelming the main score view.
• Confirmed appears only when an official or reputable source announces a sequel.
• Verified summaries are refreshed weekly for S-tier titles once evidence lands.
• Citations are available in the advanced view for auditability.
Limitations & roadmap
CourScore is directional, not deterministic. It will never replace official studio timelines.
• Smaller titles may have thinner coverage, which can soften confidence.
• Private production information is not visible, so sudden announcements can still surprise.
• Roadmap: calibration and backtesting runs will be published as historical benchmarks mature.
