A MARKETPLACE FOR REAL-WORLD DATA PRODUCTION

Real-world data exists.The data your model needsusually doesn't.

We organize and price the capacity to produce data that does not exist yet.

§01 · THE SHIFT

AI's next constraint is coverage, not compute.

  • Generalisation comes from new environments, not more familiar demonstrations.
  • These are coverage problems, not volume problems.
  • The web is consumed. The frontier was never online.
The full argument, three paragraphs.

Robotics, autonomy, mapping and speech models increasingly depend on the diversity of environments, objects and behaviours their training data represents. Generalisation improves more from collecting across new environments and objects than from adding demonstrations in familiar ones.

A hand gripping an unfamiliar object. Traffic on an unmarked road. A language spoken inside a moving vehicle. These are coverage problems, not volume problems.

The accessible web was consumed. The marginal return on scraped data is falling. The remaining frontier was never online.

SCHEMATIC

FAMILIAR — DENSE · NARROW

UNCOVERED — THIN · DIFFERENTIATED

§02 · MODALITIES

Commissioned data is the business.

EXISTING DATA IS A DEMONSTRATION

Buyer-specific · exclusive where required · consent for the declared purpose · clearance in jurisdiction of collection · delivery to specification on a stated timeline

COLLECTION DEMONSTRATED ACROSS MULTIPLE MODALITIES

MODALITY 01

Driving & mapping

The roads where autonomy stacks fail look nothing like their training data.

Specified for what North American and Western European datasets miss.

Capture, conditions, program shape.
CAPTURE
dashcam + in-cabin video — unmarked roads · informal intersections · mixed traffic
TRAFFIC MIX
motorbikes · tuk-tuks · livestock · pedestrian encounters
CONDITIONS
night · unpaved surfaces · extreme weather
TELEMETRY
GPS · speed · braking · IMU — pairable with video by capture spec
PROGRAM SHAPE
defined geography · fixed monthly volume · hardware-agnostic

Autonomy datasets over-index on North American and Western European roads; a program is specified for what they miss.

FOR AUTONOMY, ADAS AND PERCEPTION TEAMS

Modality 1

MODALITY 02

Household robotics video

Egocentric video of household work in lived-in homes, not staged sets.

100k+-hour corpora need real people in real homes.

Capture, conditions, program shape.
CAPTURE
head- or chest-mounted rigs — dispatch and recovery through in-market presence
TASKS
cooking · cleaning · laundry · tidying — defined task list, fixed monthly hours
ENVIRONMENTS
kitchens, appliances and objects rare in Western corpora

Humanoid programs commission 100k+-hour corpora. Every hour requires a real person, in a real home, wearing a camera. That is why it is scarce.

FOR HUMANOID AND EMBODIED-AI PROGRAMS

Modality 2

MODALITY 03

Multilingual speech

Spontaneous speech outside English, outside the studio.

Scripted corpora do not close the low-resource gap.

Capture, conditions, program shape.
COVERAGE
native speakers across the operating footprint · low-resource languages · regional accents
ACOUSTICS
engine noise · traffic · overlapping speakers
CONSENT
capture spec reviewed and cleared per jurisdiction before any recording
PAIRING
commissionable with driving or household video for multimodal alignment
PROGRAM SHAPE
defined language and market subset · fixed monthly hours
DELIVERY
raw · or transcribed and annotated to specification

Non-English, low-resource speech is underrepresented relative to demand; scripted corpora do not close the gap.

FOR VOICE AND ASR TEAMS

Modality 3

§03 · OPERATING PROCESS

Requirement to delivery.

01 · STRUCTURED BRIEF

SPECIFY

Buyer requirement captured as a structured brief: task, geography, participants, capture spec, quality standard, rights grade, delivery.

02 · HARD GATE

CLEAR

Consent mechanism, counterpart and bystander rights, and local data-protection law reviewed before any collection begins. Programs that cannot clear do not run.

NON-NEGOTIABLE · NO COMMERCIAL OVERRIDE

03 · T₀ → FIRST UNIT

ACTIVATE

Program deployed through the selected seller network. Tasks distributed, participants opt in, equipment dispatched.

04 · AUTO + INDEPENDENT

VERIFY

Two-stage quality process. Acceptance measured against criteria agreed in writing before activation. Submitted and accepted reported separately, always.

05 · CHAIN OF CUSTODY

DELIVER

Accepted units, manifest, consent attestation, rejection analysis.

ONE CONTRACT · ONE SPECIFICATION · ONE ACCEPTANCE STANDARD · ONE DELIVERY OBLIGATION

Buyers contract with Kivotos; the network is contracted separately.

Buyers contract with Kivotos. Kivotos selects and activates the fulfilment network, contracts it separately, and holds it to Kivotos's standards.

§04 · TRUST & RIGHTS

Consent at the point of participation. Not retrofitted afterwards.

04.2 · CLEARANCE

Cleared in-jurisdiction before any program begins. No commercial override.

Rights and consent cleared in the jurisdiction of collection, reviewed before any program begins. A hard gate with no commercial override.

04.3 · QUALITY

Independent adjudication. Payment against accepted output, not participation.

Adjudication independent of anyone who benefits from the outcome. Payment against accepted output, not participation.

04.4 · CHAIN OF CUSTODY

Manifest and consent attestation with every unit.

Manifest and consent attestation delivered with every unit. Origin, purpose, consent, custody — documented at collection.

EU AI ACT · ART. 10 — DATA ORIGIN & CONDITIONS OF DEPLOYMENT

Article 10: certain high-risk systems must address data origin.

EU AI Act Article 10 requires certain high-risk AI systems to address data origin and the relevant geographical, contextual and behavioural conditions of deployment.

Provenance available under confidentiality and audit rights.

Kivotos abstracts seller identity commercially. Provenance is available under confidentiality and audit rights where a buyer's compliance obligation requires it.

Architected for compliance. Legal sufficiency confirmed jurisdiction by jurisdiction before activation.

§05 · SUPPLY

The capacity already exists.

Kivotos organizes it behind one buyer interface.

Anchor supply network — a global consumer platform with tens of millions of monthly actives across Latin America, Africa, Central Asia and Southeast Asia.

01 · ENVIRONMENTS
differentiated real-world conditions at economics that support broader collection
02 · ACTIVATION
existing in-app task and notification infrastructure
03 · PHYSICAL PRESENCE
in-market locations for equipment distribution and recovery
04 · PAYMENT RAILS
local-currency participant compensation at scale
  • The buyer never manages the network. That is the product.
  • Seller-agnostic interface. The anchor network is the first.
How the abstraction works.

Kivotos separates buyer demand from underlying supply. The buyer does not identify, evaluate, contract with or manage that network. That is the product.

The buyer interface is seller-agnostic: networks are contracted separately and held to the same standards. The anchor is the first.

REPRESENTATIVE COVERAGE · NOT AN ENUMERATION

§06 · ADVISORS

Backed by operators and investors across AI, mobility, and marketplaces.

DAVID LUFTGLASS
Co-founder & CEO, Renaissance Assets · partnerships & investor relations, Andromeda Ventures · emerging-market infrastructure, Latin America
ANTHONY JOHNSON
Founder, CaseDesk · Stellium Capital · founding partner, Johnson Firm · legal technology, legal data, litigation finance

§07 · CONTACT

We are opening the market.

NIK · FOUNDER

An unmet requirement — geography, modality, rights grade — becomes a structured brief. Bring the requirement; leave with a specification.

BUYERS → nik@kivotos.ai

DANIEL · FOUNDER

For networks with distributed production capacity, and operators who know the buyers.

PARTNERS & ADVISORS → daniel@kivotos.ai

SPECIFY → CLEAR → ACTIVATE → VERIFY → DELIVER

The dataset is unique. The capacity that produces it is not.

That is what makes it a market.
