License physical-world data for AI

Separate existing recordings of physical work from an assignment to make new ones. Agree the task, permissions, recording procedure, acceptance checks and payment before organizing capture.

Choose the existing-library or new-capture route

Physical-world data can describe work in a workshop, kitchen, laboratory or other real setting. An existing recording is one kind of contribution. Asking a team to perform and record new work creates another set of costs and responsibilities.

Sieve's partnership page explicitly separates licensing existing content from recording skilled physical work. Its process includes scope, rights review, validation and payment. That public route does not establish a universal rate or acceptance standard.

Describe the task and setting

Prepare a short account of the work, tools, recording perspective and possible duration. Note whether tasks have clear starting and ending conditions. Explain available timestamps, labels or outcome records without revealing restricted details of the site or process.

If the material already exists, inventory it before agreeing to new capture. The video guide covers footage and linked audio. Ask which missing information the buyer actually needs before commissioning extra recording work.

Resolve permissions and workplace constraints

Identify who can authorize filming, participation and use of the resulting material. Review site restrictions, client confidentiality and third-party equipment or software visible in the recording. Bring safety and privacy questions to the people responsible for the workplace.

Do not change a work procedure or ask someone to repeat hazardous work for a sample. The rights checklist organizes licensing questions; it does not replace the site's safety procedures or legal review.

Put the capture work in writing

Ask who provides equipment, gives instructions and pays for time. Record the acceptance criteria, review window, rejected-work process and whether repeat capture receives payment. Keep permission to use the recording separate from payment for making it.

Use the Sieve profile to inspect its published tracks. A broader physical-data category on another provider's page does not establish a paid new-capture program. The offer worksheet can record the scope, but it cannot calculate labor costs or promise a project's earnings.
