Designing a capture programme

Scope, govern, capture, review, deliver, then learn.

A Harbor programme follows one loop: Capture → Passport → Validate → Deliver.

01 — Scope

Define the environment, the task list, countries, who can contribute, and what “done” looks like. Success is a quality bar, not a raw hour count.

02 — Govern

Set consent, privacy, safety, retention, incident, and withdrawal rules before anyone records. Harbor Passport holds identity and consent on every asset.

03 — Capture

Use repeatable instructions and metadata so each recording is useful beyond a single demo. Contributors work from a brief in Harbor Collect.

04 — Review

Score completeness, task accuracy, framing, audio, safety, and policy. Domain-matched specialists apply the operational rubric — not a generic labeling pool.

05 — Deliver

Package approved data with manifests, provenance, exclusions, and quality summaries. Audit trails travel with the hours.

06 — Learn

Use buyer questions and model performance to improve the next wave.
