Internet data
Useful for broad knowledge. It is often weak on private, current, first-person workplace actions.
Comparison guide
Choose the data source for the job.
No single source is right for every model. The useful question is whether the source matches the environment, task, governance, and quality bar you need.
Synthetic data
Useful for controlled variation and testing. It may not capture the messiness of real environments.
Ad-hoc footage
Fast to collect but can lack consent records, task definitions, metadata, and consistent quality review.
Governed capture
Designed around a defined task, participant safeguards, provenance, quality scoring, and delivery requirements.
This guide describes trade-offs, not competitor claims. Validate the choice against your own data requirements.
