Shoot to Delivery
Your galleries are not late because you edit slowly. They are late because nobody adds up three numbers: the editing hours you owe, the hours you actually edit in a week, and the days until your next promise.

What’s inside
- Seven connected databases: Sessions, Post Stages, Edit Weeks, Studio Settings, Season Months, Enquiries, and Clients.
- Contracted delivery dates computed from the shoot date and the turnaround you agreed — you never type a delivery date.
- Edit weeks that hold the hours you actually have in that specific week, not your average — a three-shoot weekend week has six hours, not twenty.
- A plain-English status per job: will be late, not scheduled, tight, or on track.
- A season counted two ways at once — shoot days sold, and the editing hours those days quietly sold with them. A month can be edit-bound with the diary half empty.
Who this is for
Every tool in photography tracks sessions. Not one of them tracks post-production capacity, which is the number that actually predicts a broken promise. This system does that arithmetic continuously and gives you the answer in one sentence — including which client you delivered late, so you do not ask that one for a referral.
