What PHL Collective 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 vendors per title, typical 1.8). 5 of 5 titles with detailed credits since 2015 used an external partner (100%); 3 external partners, 1 of them returning (60% of outsourced titles), most often Womb Music (60%); since 2022: 2 first-time partners on 50% of 4 outsourced titles.
