Built for the people making funding decisions.
From a small production company to a specialist financing desk, Kiodo adapts the same intelligence to the work in front of them.
Production finance teams
Check structures, budgets and program combinations before decisions reach the financing plan.
Entertainment lawyers
Locate the rule, clause or treaty provision behind a project-specific question and retain its source.
Specialist consultants
Research faster across jurisdictions while keeping every recommendation tied to official documentation.
Broadcasters & distributors
Assess projects against territorial incentives, eligibility rules and financing structures to identify funding leverage, sharpen due diligence and support acquisition, pre-sale and distribution decisions.
The answer is fragmented across programs, documents and project facts.
A single financing question can depend on a program page, a guideline, a regulation, a treaty and the structure of the production itself.

Project-specific answer
The federal and Québec credits can be combined, subject to the assistance cap and a shared qualifying-labour base.
What changes for this project
The current Canadian ownership and Québec spend support the structure; the France contribution still requires treaty certification.

Federal and Québec production incentives
Both mechanisms fit the current production structure, but they apply to different cost bases and must remain within the documented public-assistance limits.

Recommendation
Keep both mechanisms in the financing structure and verify the shared cost base before finalizing the claim model.
Verify any rule or clause
Move from a conclusion to the exact provision and official document supporting it.
Clause analysis
Does the proposed co-production preserve applicant control?
The proposed structure can preserve applicant control if the Canadian producer retains effective production authority throughout financing.
What this means for the project
The current minority co-production remains workable if final production authority and financing control stay with the Canadian producer.
Comprehensive knowledge, retrieved for the exact project question.
Kiodo combines a proprietary program database with retrieval and production context, so the interface stays simple without making the analysis generic.
01
Program database
Grants, tax incentives, treaties and their complete official documentation.
02
Precise retrieval
The passages that matter are isolated for the exact question being asked.
03
Project context
Territory, budget, ownership, team and production facts shape the analysis.
04
Sourced answer
The conclusion, reasoning and evidence stay together in the workspace.
Pay per question, without commitment
Kiodo uses credits rather than a subscription because production research is intensive when a decision is active and quiet when it is not.

Questions, answered plainly.
What can I ask Kiodo?+
Anything that depends on understanding a grant, tax incentive or co-production treaty: discovery, eligibility, eligible costs, stacking rules, deadlines, clauses, scenarios and financing strategy.
Where do the answers come from?+
Kiodo retrieves the relevant material from its proprietary program knowledge base and the underlying official documentation, then keeps citations visible inside the answer.
How does Kiodo use my project information?+
The facts saved with the production are used to interpret program rules in context, so the answer can distinguish confirmed eligibility, missing information and genuine blocking points.
Does Kiodo replace a lawyer or financing consultant?+
No. Kiodo accelerates research, structures the analysis and preserves the evidence so producers and advisers can spend their time on judgment, negotiation and final verification.
How does pricing work?+
There is no subscription or commitment. You purchase credits from $10, use them only when research is performed, and unused credits never expire.
