Use and adapt this original planning template. Attribution is appreciated.
Keep completed briefs in your approved private workspace. Do not put patient
information, sensitive identifiers, recordings, or confidential details in a
public website inquiry. This template is not a contract or clinical protocol.

## 1. Decision and research task
- Project owner / technical reviewer / institutional reviewer:
- Research question:
- Intended use and development stage:
- Model input and target output:
- Unit of analysis (frame, interval, case, other):
- What must the pilot establish for the project to proceed?
- Out of scope:

## 2. Collection
- Procedure family and operative approach:
- Views required (internal, headset, room, other):
- Existing archive, new recording, or both:
- Inclusion criteria and known exclusions:
- Desired independent cases and recorded hours, listed separately:
- Source variation to assess (sites, systems, operators, time periods):
- Required versus optional synchronized signals:
- Case/patient/site grouping needed to prevent split leakage:

## 3. Recording and delivery
- Exact delivered width x height PER VIEW:
- Number of views and packing (separate streams, side-by-side, other):
- Frame rate and variable/constant frame-rate behavior:
- Codec, container, pixel format, bit depth, representative bitrate:
- Left/right identity and pairing method:
- Relative timestamp units, origin, and discontinuity handling:
- Calibration files, units, capture configuration, and version:
- Cropping, resizing, rectification, redaction, or other transformations:
- Missing/occluded intervals and how they are recorded:
- File manifest, dictionary, checksums, and release identifier:
- Secure transfer, approved access roles, retention, and deletion process:

## 4. Annotation and evaluation
- Label set and version:
- Temporal boundaries and spatial coordinate convention:
- Ambiguous, not-visible, and not-applicable labels:
- Reviewer qualifications and adjudication process:
- Review sample and acceptance rule per label type:
- Evaluation split definition and source overlap checks:
- Metrics, baselines, and known limitations:

## 5. Permissions and commercial scope
- Rights holder and authorized institutional contact:
- Required permissions and privacy review status:
- Permitted training, evaluation, commercial, and derived-model uses:
- Redistribution, contractors, affiliates, geography, and term:
- Preparation, capture, annotation, and licensing costs separated:
- Minimum guarantee, revenue share, deductions, and reporting if applicable:
- Acceptance/payment triggers and remediation responsibilities:
- Correction, withdrawal, and recipient notification process:

## 6. Pilot acceptance
For each criterion record: evidence, sample, threshold, reviewer, decision,
remediation owner, and due date. No threshold is supplied by this template.

- Rights and release approval:
- Media integrity and completeness:
- View/timestamp consistency:
- Calibration applicability, if needed:
- Annotation usability and review:
- Split independence and source lineage:
- Final decision: proceed / revise / stop, with reasons:
