This kind of data can be used to help you make an informed valuation decision.

Let's consider some of the key questions you may have as a TV executive:

- Content valuation: How can you determine how much to spend on content? The Parrot Analytics content valuation system is based on demand data and can reveal the dollar value contribution of any title, to any platform, in any region. Using demand data, you can calculate the ROI a specific title will bring for any given platform. In the case of "Life In Pieces", we can see that its demand is increasing, which bodes well for its potential value in the future. You can also use demand data to assess a TV series' ability to drive subscriptions and mitigate churn.
- Content acquisition: How can you assess the value of exclusivity? Demand data can help you understand how much value a title brings to your platform or service compared to others. For instance, if "Life In Pieces" continues to increase in demand over time, it may be worth investing in exclusive content rights that could keep viewers coming back to your platform.

Demand data can help you understand which titles are the most popular with your current audience. In the case of "Life In Pieces", we can see that it has a higher demand than 88.2% of all comedy titles in the United States. This suggests that it may be a valuable asset in your programming schedule, particularly if you want to keep your current audience happy. By examining the performance of the title on a 1 year rolling basis and comparing it to the last 30 days, you can also see whether its popularity is increasing or decreasing.

In summary, demand data can be a valuable tool for TV executives looking to make more informed content decisions.
