Dataset catalogue

Every collection is delivered with a 38-column manifest, per-asset consent references, a payment record and — where the brief calls for it — a written context layer. What is published here is reference material: one worked example per environment, complete with its instruments, so the standard can be inspected before anything is commissioned. Volume is quoted against a brief or an archive tranche, not read off this page.
