Technology · Discovery & PoC

Define the architecture. Prove it against agreed criteria.

A structured discovery, PoC and rollout path. Same loop, agreed inputs, defined acceptance categories. Nothing about numbers or timing is promised before your workflow is known.

Start technical discoverySee the architecture
What discovery resolves

Decisions we close before PoC starts.

  • Which deployment model fits the existing encoder / packager / origin / CDN topology.
  • The identifier surface exposed by your entitlement layer.
  • The sample path, from suspected unauthorized distribution to the detector.
  • Data boundary, retention and access-control expectations.
  • Acceptance categories and thresholds to sign off before pilot.
Technical inputs

What we collect during discovery.

Inputs are grouped so different teams can contribute in parallel. Access requirements depend on phase and are agreed during discovery.

High-level design
  • · Target workloads (live / VOD / screeners)
  • · Regions and audience scale
  • · Deployment model preference
Media pipeline
  • · Encoder / transcoder
  • · Packager
  • · Origin
  • · CDN
  • · ABR ladder, GOP / IDR spacing, segment duration
Identity & session
  • · Auth / entitlement source
  • · Token / session mapping
  • · DRM systems
  • · Player
Network & operations
  • · Network topology
  • · Security controls
  • · Observability stack
  • · Sample path
Enforcement
  • · Enforcement API surface
  • · Policy ownership
  • · Anti-piracy operations model
Phases

Qualification → architecture → PoC → rollout.

  1. 01
    Qualification

    Confirm workflow fit, stakeholders, success criteria and PoC scope.

  2. 02
    Architecture workshop

    Working sessions to design the integration and data boundary.

  3. 03
    Sandbox / PoC

    Sandboxed integration against agreed acceptance criteria.

  4. 04
    Acceptance & rollout

    Sign-off on acceptance categories, then a staged production rollout.

Acceptance categories

What we agree to measure.

Categories, not numbers. Thresholds are agreed against your workflow and success criteria before pilot.

  1. 01
    Visual quality

    Imperceptibility measurement against agreed thresholds.

  2. 02
    Robustness transformations

    Recovery against crop, blur, flip, downscale, re-encode.

  3. 03
    Attribution / detection

    Recovery of the correct session or token identifier.

  4. 04
    False-positive handling

    Behaviour at low confidence and on unwatermarked samples.

  5. 05
    Latency / response

    End-to-end time from sample submission to detection record.

  6. 06
    Integration footprint

    Impact on encoding, delivery and cache behaviour.

  7. 07
    Cache / performance

    Effect on CDN caching and origin load along the media delivery / mixing path.

  8. 08
    Resilience

    Behaviour on partial failure of an upstream component.

  9. 09
    Operations

    Monitoring, alerting and incident-response requirements.

Proposed deliverables

What a discovery and PoC engagement typically produces.

Proposed. Final deliverables are scoped and agreed during qualification.

  • Reference architecture aligned to your delivery stack.
  • Data boundary and shared responsibility summary.
  • PoC plan with acceptance categories and thresholds agreed against your workflow.
  • Sandbox integration and test cycle report.
  • Rollout and operations plan for staged production adoption.
Readiness

Before discovery starts.

  • Named workflow owner on the customer side.
  • Access to encoder, packager or origin logs for scoping.
  • Sample of representative live and/or VOD content.
  • Draft acceptance criteria per relevant category.
  • Named security / legal reviewer for the data boundary.
