Pipeline Autopsy
Finds where a VFX pipeline is lying to you. Colour drift, soft farm status, launch env that only works on one OS, publish paths that skip validation. Then Pipe Doctor is the fix and ops follow-through.
The audit
01- Map how colour, farm, tracking, and publish actually behave on the floor.
- Pinpoint silent failures: green that is not done, looks that do not survive write.
- Prioritize fixes by production risk, not by how shiny the rewrite would be.
- Leave you with a clear report: what is broken, why, and what to do first.
Pipe Doctor follow-on
02- Implement the high-risk fixes with your team, not a drive-by slide deck.
- Harden fail contracts, preflight, and shared publish validation.
- Ops handoff so the pipeline stays honest after the engagement ends.
- Optional agent-native surfaces when you want humans and agents on the same controls.
Delivery model
Patxi + Claude
You get a senior Pipeline TD who has owned colour, Deadline, Toolkit, and floor tooling, paired with a fast agentic working style. Specs stay precise. Personality stays film-industry native, not Big Four slide theatre. Linux and macOS only for any install notes we leave behind.
