Rights & settlement rail · generative video

Your likeness.Licensed. Paid.

When an AI model is asked to generate a real person, claya decides whether it's allowed, before the video exists. Allowed requests carry a licence fee at the price the rights holder set. Everything else never renders.

Enforced before renderOne mandate, every providerSettled per use
ExclusiveSole third-party origination partner for real-person likeness. No other company holds the position. Live and enforcing at model level.

A request, resolved

No licence.
No render.

A prompt references a registered likeness. The rail stops it at 5%, before compute. A licence is issued at the rights holder's price, settled, and only then does the render continue. One transaction record from request to payment.

Generation is a commodity.
Permission is the asset.

Video models can now produce any real person, on demand, at near-zero cost. That makes compute cheap and human identity the scarce input. Today it is used without consent, without terms and without payment.

Takedowns run after the fact. Watermarks label a render that already exists. claya moves the check before compute is allocated: one mandate per person, queried by the model on every request, settled to the rights holder on every authorized use.

Not a studio · not a model · not a marketplace
The clearing layer between them
A few words

Own the copy.
Or be the copy.

Forty-five seconds, one question: who gets paid when a model makes your face? Made in-house with registered claya talent and an original track. Sound on.

How the rail works

Register. Decide.
Enforce. Record.

Rights are configured once, in business terms. claya compiles them into what each provider needs and resolves every request against the same record. Legal permission, technical decision and fee stay tied to one mandate version.

01

Register

Talent and representative set the grant, exclusions, approvals and economics. Once, not per deal.

Rights holder
02

Decide

claya resolves each request against that record: clear it, block it, or route it for approval.

claya rights engine
03

Enforce

The connected provider applies identity controls before rendering. Refusals, not takedowns.

04

Record

Each authorized use links back to its mandate for review, reporting and settlement.

One roster. Every decision.
Before it happens.

The representative's view: who is available, who has demand, what is clearing, what was stopped, what earned. Only exceptions reach a person. Everything inside the mandate clears automatically.

The network

Rights holders connect once.
Each engine integrates once.

The mandate is model-agnostic; providers are activated separately. One frontier provider already enforces registered identity protection. A second provider running the same mandate logic is the next proof.

Rights holders

Need: one mandate, one control layer, distribution across every model.

OnceA mandate is set once and travels. Value grows as more generation surfaces honour the same permissions.
SeparateGeneration and release are separate permissions. CLEAR can authorize generation without authorizing release.
One recordEvery authorized use links legal permission, technical decision and fee in a single transaction.
