Illustrative output contract
One batch in.
A release decision out.
Every accepted or held episode stays tied to its source identity, evidence, rule version, and compute receipt. The same cached media core feeds quality control, CV, notation, training, and evaluation outputs.

The output contract
Nine files.
One accountable decision.
The receipt is portable, inspectable, and shaped around the acceptance rules already used by the buyer.
accepted.csvEvery released episode with source, version, coverage, and output pointers.
RELEASE SETheld.csvEvery exception with a reason code, evidence pointer, and review status.
DECISION QUEUEevidence.jsonlSource-time evidence for integrity, semantic, action, outcome, and policy checks.
TRACEABILITYduplicates.csvExact and near-duplicate groups with the retained representative made explicit.
LEAKAGE CONTROLstreams.mdDecode, frame-grid, timestamp, missing-stream, and sensor-health findings.
INTEGRITYcoverage.mdTask, source, environment, embodiment, failure, and recovery coverage.
DATA SHAPElabels.qa.mdGold-set scores, agreement, abstention, boundary tolerances, and overrides.
QUALITY CONTROLcompute.jsonDecoded work, cache reuse, model calls, stage versions, and avoided transforms.
FLOP ACCOUNTINGhashes.txtContent hashes binding source objects, derived artifacts, and the receipt itself.
REPRODUCIBILITYReasoned quality control
Every hold explains itself.
The review queue contains the uncertain residue. Each row carries the exact source window, triggered rule, evidence, and next decision.

Decode once.
Account for every reuse.
The receipt makes processing cost inspectable beside quality. New thresholds and output views begin from retained source work.
