First of all, commercials over here are MXF Op1A, XDcam style.
It checks loudness / True Peak / Short term loudness / track amount / amount of channels per track / audio bitrate.
If fixable, it will try to compensate modifying sound only
It checks TC / duration, and will rewrap (no transcode) when off. (within limits, it will not trim off more than X frames when too long.)
It checks codec / bitrate / resolution.
If off, it will try to transcode to compliant file.
And (in the normal release, not public yet), it will check or generate sidecar XML, filename, etc, and eats close to anything on input, output a compliant file.
What it does NOT do (yet) is flicker (Harding test), video levels, field dominance / errors etc.
But over here commercial are hardly ever get rejected for that.
The old ('consumer') version is here (does not do all yet, but a lot. Input a QT, get an compliant file out of it.)

Is your software looking at metadata that describes the type of or format of content? Does the software analyze video and audio levels as well?Are there toolbox like OS level software that your software accesses as a front end or do you write code that measures levels etc... This is an area I know little about and find it interesting.
