Proposed portable distillation workflow

The distillation report compares nine provider routes and proposes a workflow using an expressly permitted teacher, admitted source material and an exportable student. It distinguishes training services from teacher permission and evidence of model ancestry.

Proposed data supplier evaluation

The supplier report compares ten content brokers and expert-data suppliers across purchasing routes, buyer evidence, permissions, compensation and attribution. It proposes evaluating suppliers for books, broader datasets, proprietary content and commissioned expert work. No compared supplier establishes the complete proposed combination of permissions, individual attribution, downstream influence recognition and continuing contributor rewards.
