This makes it simple to track and manage your records.

Corpus Submits

Forget manual submission! With Corpus, you can easily record each title submission, noting the publishers and editors involved. Editors' responses are just a dropdown menu away—quick and efficient.


Corpus Reminds

Never miss an important date! Corpus sends email reminders about submission deadlines, contract progress, and other crucial milestones. You can also filter your database by agency, publisher, category, submission dates, and more.

With Corpus, follow-ups become effortless.


Corpus Organizes

No more paperwork! Once an offer is accepted, Corpus automatically generates a contract notification and sends it to the relevant team members.

Its autocomplete feature speeds up the process, using previously submitted data for submissions and contracts—saving you time at every stage.


Corpus Manages Contracts

Track contract progress in real time. Once the contract details are entered, Corpus helps you monitor its journey through signature and counter-signature stages.


Corpus Tracks Payments

Once a contract is finalized, Corpus notifies your accounting team to ensure smooth payment follow-ups. You can also track payment schedules, record received payments, and manage transactions with rights-holders effortlessly.


Corpus Analyzes Performance

Understanding team performance is crucial for maintaining efficiency and improving workflow. Corpus provides detailed performance charts and reports to help you track:

  • Submission and contract progress for each team member
  • Response times for offers and deals
  • Pending tasks and bottlenecks in workflows
  • Revenue and financial projections based on contracts and payments

By leveraging data-driven insights, you can optimize your agency’s operations, ensure accountability, and make informed business decisions.

Corpus makes it easy to manage and display dynamic content on your website. With its built-in API, you can integrate:

Whitepapers

How to Use This Series

We recommend reading the series in order to build a complete operational framework.

  • Start with Paper 1 (Data Order) to understand the philosophical and architectural foundation.
  • Read Paper 2 (System) to apply that philosophy to the specific mechanics of publishing.
  • Move to Paper 3 (Costs) to understand the risks of ignoring this system.
  • Use Papers 4 & 5 (Lifecycle & Metrics) to map your agency and measure success.
  • Finish with Paper 6 (AI) to layer intelligence on top of your clean data architecture.

Publishing Operations Series

A practical, systems-first perspective on how publishing organizations can gain visibility, reduce operational leakage, and apply AI responsibly.

1) Data Order, Institutional Persona, and Sustainable Decision-Making

A System Architecture Perspective on Corpus

Data Architecture, Institutional Memory, Governance

Data order is not merely technical—it is the "digital DNA" of an organization. This paper argues that relational data forms an institutional persona, a collective behavioral profile that determines how an organization learns from the past and anticipates the future.

Key Takeaways:
  • Data Order = Capacity for Reconstruction: Avoiding "historical blindness."
  • Ethical Visibility: Using transparency to foster self-regulation rather than surveillance.
  • Organizational Consciousness: Moving from storing data to thinking with data.
Read Whitepaper

2) Publishing as a System

Systems Thinking, Operations, Memory

Publishing is not “creative chaos” — it is an interconnected operational system. This paper frames publishing as a set of processes, feedback loops, and information flows that must be designed for clarity and continuity.

Key Takeaways:
  • Why “creative chaos” is a myth
  • Information flow as the backbone of publishing
  • Institutional memory vs. personal memory
Read Whitepaper

3) The Invisible Costs of Manual Workflows

Operational Leakage, Risk, Process Design

Manual workflows don’t fail loudly — they leak value quietly. This paper explains how email and spreadsheets create decision latency, errors without traceability, and long-term memory loss.

Key Takeaways:
  • Why email is not a workflow
  • Traceability as the missing capability
  • The compounding effect over long publishing timelines
Read Whitepaper

4) From Manuscript to Market

Lifecycle, Data Visibility, Learning Loops

Publishing value emerges over time — but most organizations can’t “see” the full story. This paper maps the publishing lifecycle as a continuous, data-generating system.

Key Takeaways:
  • Why fragmentation breaks lifecycle visibility
  • Contracts and rights as transition nodes
  • Connecting decisions to outcomes
Read Whitepaper

5) Measuring What Matters

Metrics, Strategy, Accountability

Publishing metrics often count activity instead of value. This paper proposes a shift from vanity metrics to lifecycle-aware indicators that support learning and trust.

Key Takeaways:
  • Activity vs. effectiveness
  • Leading indicators: decisions, delays, handoffs
  • Metrics designed for learning, not control
Read Whitepaper

6) AI & Publishing Operations

AI, Operational Intelligence, Governance

AI’s biggest near-term impact isn’t replacing creativity — it’s amplifying operational intelligence. This paper outlines where AI helps and how to adopt it responsibly.

Key Takeaways:
  • AI as an operational layer (not a decision maker)
  • Pattern recognition across the publishing lifecycle
  • Governance: transparency and bias
