Project Idea - Podcast - Podcast Client Approval Hub

- **Faster approvals:** Clients can review episodes, transcripts, and clips in one place.
- **Clearer feedback:** Timestamped comments make it easy to identify exactly what needs changing.
- **Fewer delays:** Automated approval tracking helps teams follow up and keep production on schedule.
- **Better client experience:** A branded portal gives clients a professional, organized way to collaborate.
- **Scalable workflow:** Agencies can manage multiple shows and clients without adding unnecessary admin work.

- **Tiered monthly subscriptions:** Charge agencies based on the number of active shows, with higher tiers offering more users, storage, and collaboration features.
- **Usage-based add-ons:** Charge extra for high-volume transcription, video hosting, AI-generated clips, or additional storage.
- **Premium features:** Offer paid upgrades such as custom branding, client portals, approval workflows, analytics, and integrations.
- **Agency onboarding and support:** Charge one-time setup fees for migration, white-label configuration, and team training, or offer premium support plans.
- **Enterprise plans:** Create custom pricing for larger agencies needing advanced permissions, security, service-level agreements, or multiple workspaces.

- **White-label client portal:** Customize the hub with your agency’s branding, domain, and client-specific workspaces.
- **Episode review pages:** Share audio or video drafts, transcripts, and social clips in one place.
- **Timestamped feedback:** Let clients comment on a specific moment in an episode or clip.
- **Approval workflows:** Set review stages, assign approvers, track status, and request revisions.
- **Version history:** Keep previous drafts and feedback organized so teams can compare changes.
- **Notifications and reminders:** Alert clients and agency teams when drafts are ready, comments arrive, or approvals are overdue.
