Get a scope and quote
Within 2 business daysWe send back a written scope: what we'll collect, where, from whom, how long it takes, and the price.
-
Review a pilot
Usually 1 to 3 weeksWe collect a small batch to the agreed spec. You review it, and we adjust the capture guide based on your feedback.
-
Scale up
OngoingOnce the pilot is approved, we collect at volume and deliver in batches, adding locations, languages, or tasks as you need.
Quality checks on every file.
Data that fails spec costs you more than no data. So nothing ships until it passes review.
- Contributors are briefed with a written capture guide and a short trial before real collection.
- Every file is checked against your spec: framing, resolution, duration, audio level, and content.
- Files that fail are re-captured, not passed along.
- Labels are reviewed by a second person before delivery.
- You only pay for data that meets the agreed spec.
Consent and compliance, on file.
You need to know where your training data came from. We document it.
- Written consent from every contributor, in the contributor's own language and English, explaining that the data is used for AI training.
- Consent and releases aligned with local data protection law where the data is collected, such as GDPR, CCPA, or Indonesia's UU PDP.
- Property owners' permission for filming in homes and private workplaces.
- No minors, and no bystanders recorded without consent.
- Fair pay for contributors, with payment records kept.
- Consent records available to you on request.

Questions
How small can a pilot be?
Small enough to judge quality quickly. Typically a few hours of video or audio, or a few hundred images or text items. We'll suggest a size when we scope your project.
Is the data exclusive to us?
Custom collections are made for your project. Exclusivity terms are agreed in writing before we start.
Can you collect outside Southeast Asia?
Yes. Our home base is Bali and our deepest network is in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, but we collect wherever a project needs it, through our own contributors or local partners. Each project is scoped one by one.
Can you work to our existing capture guidelines?
Yes. Send them with your spec and we'll brief contributors to them exactly.
How is data delivered?
Through a secure cloud transfer in the format and folder structure you specify, with metadata and labels included.
Do you also license existing archives?
Yes. We represent broadcasters, studios, and publishers who want to license their archives for AI training. Learn more.
