Content valuation, enabled by demand data, informs stakeholders on the dollar value contribution of any title to any platform in any region. This way, entertainment executives can determine how much to spend on content. By calculating the return on investment (ROI) a specific title will bring to any given platform, decision-makers can evaluate a television series' ability to drive subscriptions and mitigate churn.

Entertainment executives can also use demand data to answer important questions such as how popular a show is relative to the market average, how popular a show is in different markets worldwide, which titles should be acquired or produced to exhibit an opportunity, and what kind of content is prevalent in specific locations worldwide.
