Rework from Using Outdated or Wrong Assets
Definition
Teams frequently use old rigs or incorrect asset versions due to inadequate archival management, resulting in days of rework per incident. This breaks production continuity and incurs repeated labor costs across episodes or features. Brand inconsistency from mismatched assets further demands costly fixes to meet client standards.[1]
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Days of labor per rework incident
- Frequency: Daily
- Root Cause: No single source of truth for latest versions in shared drives or generic storage, leading to overwrites and version hunting.[1]

Financial Impact
$1,200-2,400 per rework incident; brand compliance delays video distribution (2-3 days = lost marketing window); brand reputation risk • $1,200-2,400 per rework incident; brand compliance violations can trigger ($500-2,000 fine internally); customer/employee confusion from inconsistent branding • $1,600-3,200 per rework incident (tight deadline rush); media buy penalties ($2,000-10,000 if delivery misses window); client relationship damage (rework not billable to time-pressed agency)
Current Workarounds
Account manager emails updated brand assets to Slack channel with 'THIS IS FINAL' in caps; compositor keeps 5-10 asset versions locally in case; manual eyeball comparison with reference JPGs • Animator posts in shared Slack channel asking 'which model for this episode?', manual version comparison, calls to animation lead • Animator sends Slack message to lead asking 'what skeleton version?', manual folder browsing on network drive (Build_2024_Q3, Build_2024_Q4), Git commits with inconsistent tagging
