A production method.
An adaptable foundation.

Built around the decisions that matter: which moments to keep, what to approve and how to make the next batch consistent.

Understand the recording

Transcribe locally and rank candidate passages with editable, inspectable rules.

Keep editorial control

Review context, captions and crop suggestions. Approve the clips you want to produce.

Make work repeatable

Use brand profiles, a local SQLite project and run records to organize each batch.

Read the technical specification

From the production playbook

Review the context.
Then approve the cut.

Candidate scores help organize a review. Your editorial judgment decides which moments deserve a place in the final batch.

Read the passage alongside the original recording.
Check names, numbers and caption timing.
Inspect the crop before approving the clip.
