SPL playbook · Step 3
This is the heart of the SPL role. You must actually review the footage your recorders
send you before it goes to opentez, rather than just trusting that it’s fine.
This table contains acceptance criteria for the batch deliverable. It does not direct how
you or your crew must perform the underlying work or how you manage your business.
The 7-point QA review
For each recorder and session, verify:
| Check | What you’re confirming |
|---|
| Angle & framing | Head-mounted, first-person, both hands and the work in frame |
| Consistent wear | The headband stayed on and steady for the whole session |
| Hands in frame | Hands are visible during active work, start to finish |
| Privacy clean | No minors or exposed PII; every permitted adult face has a matching consent record |
| Real, active work | Continuous skilled activity, not idle or staged filler |
| Consent on file | Signed releases or a qualifying Texas verbal-bystander record cover every person and private place shown |
| Collected correctly | Standard mode, good light, audio handled per project rules |
Do not include a session that fails these criteria in the batch deliverable. How you
address the issue with your crew is your decision. It is far cheaper to resolve it before
delivery than to have opentez reject the batch.
Your independent QA improves the acceptance rate of the batch. The opentez team reviews
and annotates everything after delivery, and payment is based only on accepted footage
delivered.
