What Netflix outsources and how open it is to new partners

The verdict rates how hard it is for a new vendor to win work in each discipline: how much of the work goes to outside vendors rather than staying inside, whether the same partners come back or change from project to project, and how often first-time partners got in over recent years.

Audio design and production services: Open: partners change from project to project. Sourcing model: regularly outsourced (1.2 vendors per title, typical 1.8). 5 of 5 titles with detailed credits since 2015 used an external partner (100%); 4 external partners, 2 of them returning (80% of outsourced titles), most often A Shell in the Pit (40%). Small base: a first signal, not a settled pattern.
Localisation services: Open: partners change from project to project. Sourcing model: regularly outsourced (1.5 vendors per title, typical 1.5). 4 of 5 titles with detailed credits since 2015 used an external partner (80%); 5 external partners, 1 of them returning (50% of outsourced titles), most often Keywords Studios (50%).
