Our own crews and our own machines come first.
Every other page on this site describes something designed and written down. This page says what has happened, what has not, and what comes next.
No capture session has ever been recorded. The instrument, the record it writes, and the checks that admit or refuse it are designed and specified, and that design is what this site sets out. Everything stated anywhere on this site is a specification or an argument. None of it is a measurement.
Where each piece stands.
The first recording
It comes next, on our own crews and our own machines. Until it has happened, no page here claims how well any of this works.
The agreements
They are being drafted. The points they are built around are on these pages, and when they are settled they go up here in plain words. Nobody signs anything before then.
The price
Payment is counted from the record that shows who authorized the work, hour by hour in use. The rate follows the first recordings and goes up here with the terms.
Who has been asked
Nobody outside our own crews. We are working it out on our own people first, so the awkward questions are found by us and not by you.
In this order, and not the other way round.
- 01Our people, our machinesThe first recordings come from crews we already work with, on machines they already run. The procedure that admits or refuses a record runs on us before it runs on anyone else.
- 02The agreements finishedThen put on this site in plain words, before anyone outside is asked to sign one.
- 03Terms and payment, publishedThe terms, and what payment is figured on, go on this site the same way, so a person can read what they would be agreeing to before anyone asks them to.
- 04Then other people askedOperators, owners and the people who represent them. Until that step, writing to us puts you on nothing and commits you to nothing.
