Talent

Talent is an available, separately entitled business work area. Representatives use a free authenticated portal. An act has one shared identity; each business has its own private roster relationship, negotiated rates, notes and agreements. An act membership does not create employment or grant buyer workspace access.

Roster, discovery and Event lineup metadata remain complete while optional photos load in bounded batches. Each batch repeats current Act or engagement authority; changed, denied or stale sources clear their previews. Profile edits remain intact while authorized images load. Roster and lineup screens remain usable when image results refresh or become unavailable. Known-private filtering is separate from the pending strict ownership and legacy artwork replacement cutover.

Business screens and booking workflow#

At /app/[orgSlug]/talent, use My roster, Discover, Calendar, Money and Settings. The roster can add an existing discoverable act or create a provisional act and invite a representative. Group roster discovery reuses act identity while private Legal Entity relationships stay distinct.

1. Add the act to the roster and set private payee, usual fee, weekday rates, exact-date exceptions and notes. The exact-date rate wins over weekday, which wins over the usual fee.
2. Offer up to 26 exact dates with Site/Space, local time, fee, currency, terms and expiry. Review diary conflict indicators and per-date terms.
3. The act accepts the offer. Only acceptance atomically reserves its shared diary; sending an offer does not reserve time.
4. Review accepted dates in Calendar and their operational contributions in Bookings/Rotas. Reported performance completion is confirmed by the business.
5. For changes, propose a replacement agreement and wait for acceptance. The existing accepted time, place, fee and reservation remain in force meanwhile.

Availability reveals recorded conflicts without disclosing another buyer's identity, venue, fee or documents. Repeated/invalid daylight-saving wall times need clarification. Changing saved rates never rewrites accepted fees.

Representative portal, availability, cover and swaps#

The portal at /talent/portal has My rota, Offers, Cover & swaps, Calendar & availability, Profile and Invoices. It shows represented acts' commitments across venues while preserving each buyer's private boundary. Representatives can respond to offers, inspect agreements, report completion, maintain approved promotional information and block unavailable dates/hours.

Invitation acceptance checks the signed-in email and may start ownership review; an emailed link alone grants neither representation nor act ownership. Verified owners can invite/revoke representatives. Provisional acts remain undiscoverable until verification and explicit network opt-in.

For one-way cover, put a future booking up for cover. Eligible same-kind roster acts review their own rate and claim it; an independent venue manager approves the replacement. For a reciprocal swap, both acts review their new dates/fees and a manager approves both. Until approval the original bookings remain active. Collisions, stale agreements, invoice/completion evidence or changed authority can block the swap. Rejected/expired/withdrawn requests preserve original dates.

Event lineups and retained commitments#

An Event's Talent / Lineup tab can offer a roster act the occurrence or attach an eligible accepted booking. Assign Headliner, MC or Support and order the bill, then save and publish the reviewed promotional snapshot. Featuring an act photo is explicit; global profile edits never silently rewrite published event copy.

Series → Talent holds recurring defaults and can produce offers for selected actual occurrences. It appears only when the registered Talent contribution is available to the current operator. Default selection and date offers require talent.manage and ticketing.events.manage; sending an offer does not reserve the act's diary. Event rescheduling/cancellation creates a Talent review rather than cancelling the agreement or settling a fee. Accepted commitments remain accessible through retained-commitment surfaces after subscription retirement only while the person still has current authority at the stored scope.

A proposed location, fee or private term needs its own current source authority; reading an accepted booking does not reveal a denied proposed change. Agreement read leases hide withdrawn details and clear private copied fields. Schedule and retained lists are bounded, non-exhaustive windows of admitted records; a known permitted agreement remains accessible directly.

Invoices and payments#

In Money, attach an invoice for compatible accepted engagements with one act, buyer, payee and currency. Without Purchasing, authorised staff can record a reference/date as recorded paid externally. With Purchasing, Send invoice to Finance creates the structured supplier claim; approval and settlement remain Purchasing-owned.

Verified act owners can connect their own Standard Stripe account, review an invoice draft and explicitly issue/email it. Stripe's verified legal issuer can differ from the stage name. Invoice state, email acceptance and verified payment are separate. A manually marked-paid provider invoice is not verified card payment. Retry recovers the same invoice; uncertain email state avoids silent duplicate sending. Refund/dispute evidence can reopen finance review.
