Governance and Media Scope

The Snowflake product is built on curated audit outputs rather than raw operational data. Governance is part of the product, not an afterthought.

The current sample release includes:

  • curated site and audit summaries
  • movement, dwell, trace, inventory, facade, intercept, and observation datasets
  • geospatial enrichment and provenance fields
  • governed plan image links where relevant

The current sample release does not include:

  • photo or video media publication through PHOTOGRAPHY

The sample is intentionally tighter than the paid product scope. Photo and video media can be made available as required as part of the paid offering, once the right publication controls and packaging are agreed.

These are not the same thing:

  • Plan images are governed spatial reference assets used to interpret mapped observations.
  • Photo and video media are broader observational media and are not included in the sample listing.

TRACE_PATHS and FACADE_QUALITY include derived geometry built from:

  • SVG source paths
  • georeferenced plans
  • geometry derivation methods recorded in the export

This means the geometry is suitable for analysis and visualisation, but should be described as derived linework rather than native GIS capture.

INTERCEPT_RESPONSES and OBSERVATIONS contain curated qualitative content that has already been reviewed through audit curation. Even so, qualitative detail should still be packaged intentionally and matched to the right commercial tier.

The listing should be treated as a governed product with clear scope, not as a raw dump of everything available in the source platform.
