Turnaround
aka Rest period
The mandatory rest period between a crew member's wrap one day and their call the next — a core union and health-and-safety rule.
Turnaround is the gap between wrap and the next day's call. Union agreements (IATSE in the US, BECTU in the UK) set a minimum — commonly 10 to 11 hours — and breaking it triggers penalty payments and, more importantly, fatigue risk. ADs schedule around it; producers cost it. StoryboardCanvas runs an IATSE Turnaround Engine that checks every consecutive shoot-day pair against the threshold and flags a broken turnaround on the Producer Scorecard before the schedule locks, not after the penalty lands.

Every turnaround we generate stays linked to the rest of the project — change a scene heading and the turnaround updates automatically. No re-import. No copy-paste. One project file from script to wrap.
