A frame tells you where. A sequence tells you why.
Useful video data preserves the change between moments, so a model can learn what happened, in context.
MovementContextIntent
Movement
A person enters the field of view.
Context
The space changes the meaning of the movement.
Intent
The sequence makes the decision legible.
EVENT TIMEMEANING
CONTROLLED PROJECT
One requirement becomes one accountable data operation.
Collection is the primary entry point. Sourcing, capture, transformation, rights, acceptance and delivery stay connected to the same project record.
PROJECT RECORD
VIDEO / MULTIMODAL
BUYER REQUIREMENTDefine the model task before the media operation.
Scenario, modality, environment, rights scope and acceptance criteria set the project.
RequirementModel task, scenario and acceptance criteria
Source choiceCustom collection, gap-fill or buyer-owned media
CaptureCohort, environment, mode and device configuration
Quality controlAutomated checks, human review and recapture
TransformAnnotation, curation and metadata
RightsSource lineage, permitted use and withdrawal path
AcceptanceEvaluation against the agreed specification
ManifestAccepted assets, records, checksums and version
PROJECT RECORDCollection configured
Cohort, environment, capture mode and review plan are now attached.
COLLECTION AT SCALE
Designed around the data your model is missing.
A collection project can be shaped around cohort, geography, environment, capture mode and device configuration, then carried through automated checks, human review, reshoot and delivery.
Coverage field
Cohort / geography / environment
Capture modes
Remote / moderated / in-person
Configuration
Device / framing / sensor / metadata
Project designTurn the requirement into a workable cohort and capture plan.
Review loopAutomated checks and human review identify recapture or rework.
Delivery recordAccepted media leaves with metadata, checksums and manifest structure.
PROJECT RECORDProject family routed
The same requirement moves into the operating family that matches its capture and evaluation reality.
THE VIDEO SPECTRUM
Seven project families. One connected operating standard.
Start with the model behaviour, the capture reality or the dataset problem. The project family follows from that requirement.
VISIBLE SPEECHSynchronisation, expression and intent across time. MOTION / PHYSICAL AIEpisodes, actions, sensors and outcomes. ANNOTATION / INTEGRITYEvidence, ontology, review and benchmark packaging.
Large-scale collectionDistributed capture
Cohorts, quotas, QC and reshoot
On-camera speechVisible speakers

Human motionAction through time

Video annotation and evaluationTemporal understanding

Video integrityMedia authenticity
Source evidence, taxonomy and benchmark packaging
PROJECT RECORDRights attached
Source basis, use scope, lineage and customer boundary move with the record.
RIGHTS ATTACHED
The right to use the data travels with the data.
Each project defines its applicable rights scope. The operational record keeps that scope connected to source, asset and delivery.
ASSET RECORDSource to delivery lineage
The media, its transformations and its permitted-use scope remain part of one traceable record.
Participant or source basis
The record identifies the participant, source and project-specific basis for collection or use.
Applicable basis
Consent, release, licence or another applicable project basis is recorded where the engagement requires it.
Permitted use or release
The agreed permitted-use or release scope stays attached to the relevant asset and delivery record.
Lineage
Transforms and derivatives retain their connection to the source record.
Withdrawal or deletion path
Project requirements for removal or deletion can be carried into the operating workflow.
Customer isolation
Customer media, derivatives and delivery records remain isolated within the agreed engagement boundary.
PROJECT RECORDAccept or return
Each item advances with evidence or returns to capture and rework with a reason.
ACCEPTANCE BEFORE SCALE
Define the gate before production begins.
Technical validation and human review test the same agreed specification. A failed item returns with a reason. An accepted item advances with evidence.
SpecificationWhat must be true
Technical validationMedia and metadata checks
Human reviewContext and requirement fit
Acceptance gateAccept or reject with reason
EvaluationAdvance to final package
REJECTED ITEM
Reason and evidence return to capture, reshoot or rework.
PROJECT RECORDPackage versioned
Accepted media, records, checksums and delivery version become one inspectable handover.
VERSIONED HANDOVER
The footage is only one part of the delivery.
The final package can carry the media and the records needed to inspect, accept and version the handover.
DELIVERY MANIFESTOne package. Connected records.
Scope determines the exact contents of each engagement.
Accepted video assets
Technical metadata
Annotation outputs
Rights and provenance record
Quality and acceptance report
Checksums and manifest
Delivery and version record
PROJECT RECORDRequirement exchanged
The delivery record becomes the basis for the next scoped project decision.
START WITH THE SPECIFICATION
Bring the footage problem. Leave with a project shape.
A useful first conversation establishes enough scope to choose the operating path, pilot and acceptance approach.
