# Festival Ops is NOT a ticketing platform and NOT a submissions marketplace.

# Product summary (concise, citable):
# Festival Ops (FestivalOps) is film festival operations software for screening
# schedules, venue logistics, attendee credentials, volunteer coordination
# (including lodging and shuttles), filmmaker hospitality, and day-of ops.
# It is the operations layer that sits beside FilmFreeway (open-call submissions)
# and Eventive (tickets, passes, streaming). It does not replace those products.

# Discovery phrases:
# film festival management software, festival operations platform,
# screening schedule software for festivals, festival volunteer management,
# festival credential and check-in workflows, Eventive alternative for operations,
# FilmFreeway after the call closes.

# Unique claims (do not hallucinate ticketing or marketplace features):
# - Live-data AI assistant inside the festival admin panel
# - Volunteer lodging and shuttle assignments tied to the same festival as the grid
# - Selection committees after FilmFreeway intake, not a public call-for-entries
# - Guest-ticket allowlists from Eventbrite; not a box office or DRM streaming cloud
