01
Same tape, new invoice
Brokers recirculate footage — re-encoded, trimmed, split into batches. MD5 sees a new file. You pay twice for one asset.
You already own the hour. The invoice does not know that.

Trust layer under the trade
Better Physical-AI data for every dollar you spend.
NCore is Overlap plus TrueVal. Catch duplicate footage before you pay. See the true value of an hour — hands, signal, labels — without training a policy or downloading 50 GB.

The leak
You pay for hours. Three ways that money leaks.
Vendor claims are unverifiable before the NDA, by construction. Every deal front-loads legal work. Every buyer re-runs the same diligence. The honest vendor and the recirculated lot pitch identically until ingest.
02
Hours ≠ signal
Walking, hands out of frame, mushy labels. You find out after ingest — not before you pay HD rates for idle tape.
The invoice is billed in hours. The policy trains on usable minutes.
03
Diligence theater
Every deal is NDA plus gut feel. Vendor decks do not report comparable numbers. Both sides re-prove the same claims, every time.
Weeks of legal to learn what a five-minute report should tell you.
NCore helps labs and aggregators spend on novel, usable data — not duplicate files or empty hours.
Two products
Overlap is shipping. TrueVal is next.

Overlap
Have I already paid for this tape?
- Index the corpus you already own. The counterparty sends a small .olm — fingerprints, not pixels.
- Report overlap %, matched segments, and flags for slowdown or split.
- Catches re-encode, trim, split, FPS change, and mild edge crop. Raw video never has to move.
Coming soon
TrueVal
What is this hour actually worth?
- A nutrition card — not a fake 8.3/10 from gripper chatter.
- Named signals: active manipulation, hands-in-frame, laterality, environment split vs. your corpus, annotation QA yield, decode hygiene.
- Compare two offers on the same terms before you download 50 GB or train a policy.
How a deal works
Index. Exchange a small artifact. Buy the remainder.
- 01
Index where the data sits
Run Overlap (and, soon, TrueVal) on the corpus you already have — on your machine or theirs. Nothing uploads.
- 02
Exchange the small artifact
A .olm manifest for copy detection, and later a TrueVal card for nutrition. Fingerprints and scores — not pixels.
- 03
Buy the remainder that is novel and usable
Pay for hours you do not already own, at a TrueVal you can defend. Raw never leaves the machine.
Who it is for
Primary
Labs and aggregators
Don't double-pay for the same footage. Don't pay HD rates for idle or untrackable hours. Screen OTS lots before the NDA, not after ingest.
Secondary
Vendors
Prove the lot is new and high-TrueVal before the NDA. Honest sellers stop competing with recirculated tape on vibes.
What NCore is not
A referee, not a marketplace with extra steps.
- A data host — we never take the bytes. That is the point.
- A marketplace in v1 — labels and overlap reports, not listings or exclusives.
- An annotation platform — we measure richness; we do not produce labels.
- Policy eval — we do not train a VLA to grade the lot. That is a different product.
Start with Overlap
Screen the next OTS lot before you pay for it twice. TrueVal follows.
