Methodology

How this source library works.

Base2026 turns public short-form creator videos into searchable, attributed source records without replacing the original creator channel.

Source-first public records

Search results are passages linked back to the original creator post. Each public record should preserve source context, creator attribution, platform, publication date when available, and processing notes.

The public layer is designed for source discovery, comparison, and citation. It is not a video re-hosting platform, not a replacement for creators, and not a mass transcript dump.

Processing boundaries

The project prefers public source URLs, available captions, conservative local processing, and visible correction/removal paths. Full third-party transcripts are not shipped by default in the public search payload.

Pipeline status, source boundaries, and update notes are tracked in the project repository before public release.
