Creative R&D, With Guardrails
Traveler’s public pipeline is now stable enough that we can return to the delicate work: S’s face, body, wardrobe range, city belonging, and whether a still image is safe to animate without wrong-language text artifacts.
- Baseline recognition: AB should recognize S without prompt hints.
- Wardrobe escape: more freedom without losing quiet editorial taste.
- Location realism: specific cities without tourist cliches or fake signage.
- Video safety: hero sources with clear motion paths and minimal text risk.
Working Room
The source-of-truth workspace lives in the repo under s-consistency-lab/. Use the ledger for experiments, fixtures for controlled prompts, and the checklist before anything touches production.
No One-Off Miracles
A beautiful image is not enough. A model or prompt direction needs a controlled batch, recorded settings, AB verdict, known failure modes, and a rollback path before it becomes production.
SCL-001 Recognition Board
Start with recent production Traveler outputs. AB scores which images still feel unmistakably like S before we spend money on new model experiments.
