The split

Engine

Code transcribes the recording with word timings (Whisper), cuts it into candidate moments on sentence boundaries and finds the pauses and fillers; the decision brain scores every moment for hook, payoff and whether it stands alone, and flags money claims and private details; code reframes to 9:16, burns in captions, levels the audio and renders; an LLM writes titles, post copy and chapter names.

Rulebook

What correct means here, and the mistakes we've already caught. It grows one job at a time.

1. R01A clip starts on the first word of a sentence and ends on the last word of a finished thought; code snaps every cut to word timings.
2. R02Cuts remove pauses, fillers and retakes, never words that change what was said. A trailer may reorder whole sentences but never splices words into new ones.
3. R03A person checks names, products and numbers in the captions against the client's glossary before a clip ships; the glossary also goes into the transcriber's prompt.
4. R04Money, health or legal claims, and private details said aloud (phone numbers, addresses, seed phrases), go to a person before a clip ships, whatever its score.
5. R05Guests appear only in clips from recordings they agreed to publish.
6. R06Music, B-roll and logos come only from the client's own library or licensed sources.
7. R07Clips run 140 seconds or less, so one file posts to X without Premium, Shorts, Reels, TikTok and LinkedIn (research/video-editing.md).
8. R08Audio is measured in code: -14 LUFS integrated and a true peak at or under -1 dBTP in the delivered file.
9. R09The client approves every clip and posts it; we never post from a client's account.

REVIEW LAYER
