About delivery checks
Each requirement in a project names how it is checked: read from file metadata, declared by the partner, or left to you and labeled as such. A passed check speaks only to that method. Metadata, a hash, or a declaration is not proof of originality, of rights, or of usefulness for training.
Tools for production teams
The spec is enforced where the footage is made.
In the Waffle Video app, each recording is locked to the project's spec, and consent is collected before filming. Every clip reaches the client's storage with its sensor files and a manifest.
Spec locked at recording
Resolution, camera, orientation and duration.
Motion on every clip

Consent before capture
Contributors accept the project's consent documents before they record.
GRID briefs can ask for footage captured in the Waffle Video app.

What can I request?
Describe the footage, locations, volume, and requirements you need. Availability depends on partner fit.
Can I start with a sample?
Yes. Ask for an existing sample or propose a small pilot. Availability, scope, and any cost are agreed with the partner.
What does it cost?
Submitting a request is free. Confirm project pricing and applicable fees before committing.
What does “checked” mean?
A result applies to a specific requirement and method. Automated checks, partner declarations, and anything not checked must be distinguished. Read the Waffle Standard.
