The classification line has the largest numeric target

The budget table puts the 2025 budget-year figure at 500 audiovisual works and projects 700 for 2026, 750 for 2027 and 800 for 2028. The table describes planned output in those columns. A completed-work report would show how many classifications took place. Source 1

Pitch training and project matches are separate outputs

The 2026 plan projects training 50 participants and matching 30 shortlisted projects with investors or distributors. Training counts participants. Matching counts projects. Financing secured and distribution contracts executed require separate outcome records. Source 1

Broadcaster outreach has its own indicator

The authority projects 200 broadcaster engagements in 2026 and 300 in 2028. The budget describes one-on-one engagement on classification criteria. A count of contacts measures the reach of the activity, while follow-up data would show whether broadcasters implemented changes. Source 1

The budget sets out a wider production and investment objective

The programme description calls for attracting foreign shoots and raising the standard and value of local productions. Its marketplace and pitching activities are intended to support collaboration. Expenditure, jobs and project delivery would be measured in records beyond this output table. Source 1
