Canonical: https://onira.studio/templates/documentary-quality-control
Audience: Creators, producers, agency reviewers, and channel owners
Production job: Final film acceptance
Runtime: Final review artifact
Format: Pass, repair, or reject scorecard

## Use this brief

Review the exact exported film [file/version] against the approved brief. Score story clarity, evidence, narration, visual accuracy, continuity, artifacts, music, captions, rights, disclosure, and channel fit. Record timestamped issues and make an explicit pass, repair, or reject decision.

## Required inputs

- Exact final export and version identifier
- Approved brief, research pack, claim ledger, and screenplay
- Target audience, channel standard, rights notes, and disclosure policy
- A reviewer who did not make every production decision

## Editorial structure

1. First watch: judge comprehension, trust, pacing, emotion, and willingness to publish without pausing.
2. Evidence pass: verify every material claim, quote, date, number, and uncertainty label.
3. Visual pass: inspect reconstruction accuracy, continuity, anatomy, physics, text, and artifacts.
4. Audio pass: check pronunciation, intelligibility, pauses, music balance, clipping, and caption alignment.
5. Release pass: clear rights, disclosure, title, thumbnail, description, sources, and the exact exported file.

## Acceptance checks

- Record issues with timestamps, severity, owner, and acceptance condition.
- Do not approve because individual shots look cinematic; judge the complete film.
- Rewatch repaired sections in context and then watch the final export end to end.
- Keep the review record with the published version and source notes.

## Visual direction

Quality means legible storytelling and credible subject detail, not maximum spectacle in every shot.

## Narration direction

The final voice must sound intentional, pronounce key terms correctly, and preserve the approved certainty level.

## Product boundary

- Onira delivers a final MP4; it does not upload or schedule posts on YouTube or social platforms.
- Onira provides a reviewable production workflow; creators remain responsible for approving the story, facts, rights, disclosure, and final publication.
- Director chat is limited to regenerating one selected PREVIEW timeline video clip; other available Studio controls are separate direct actions.
- Creators must review facts, sources, rights, realistic-synthetic-media disclosure, and platform policy before publishing.
- Onira does not guarantee YouTube monetization, reach, factual accuracy, or legal clearance.
