# Instinct Speech Data Catalog

This is the machine-readable entry point for the `instinct-org` speech data estate. It contains
metadata only; source audio remains in its existing manually gated repositories.

## Inventory

- Data products: 113
- Public/manual-gated data products: 109
- Private/manual-gated exceptions: 4
- Hub-reported storage: 7.81 TiB

### Purpose

| Purpose | Datasets |
|---|---:|
| `mixed` | 1 |
| `stt` | 56 |
| `tts` | 55 |
| `unknown` | 1 |

### Lifecycle state

| State | Datasets |
|---|---:|
| `aligned` | 16 |
| `model-encoded` | 18 |
| `packaged-pair-candidate` | 12 |
| `pair-plan` | 13 |
| `restored` | 15 |
| `segmented` | 10 |
| `source-unchunked` | 11 |
| `tts-candidate` | 15 |
| `unclassified` | 3 |

## Files

- `catalog.yaml`: canonical human-readable registry.
- `catalog.parquet`: analytics-friendly registry.
- `language_audit/language_samples.jsonl`: gated language evidence with up to 10 transcript
  samples per dataset, the selected text field, observed language values, and script profile.
- `language_audit/summary.yaml`: language-audit coverage and status counts.
- `schemas/`: catalog, STT, and TTS schema contracts.
- `policies/`: explicit visibility, gating, and license policies.
- `migrations/legacy-map.yaml`: current names and proposed canonical names.
  Proposals are not renames.

## Access

All public datasets require manual approval. Four explicitly registered SIDON datasets remain
private and manually gated. The catalog does not grant access to any underlying dataset.

## Language evidence

Declared language metadata is recorded in the catalog. Because transcript excerpts come from
gated datasets, the samples are stored in the gated `language_audit/language_samples.jsonl` file
rather than copied into publicly visible README prose. Each dataset has up to 10 unique samples;
missing text fields and access failures are recorded explicitly.

## Lifecycle model

Purpose (`stt`, `tts`, or `mixed`) is separate from lifecycle state (`source-unchunked`,
`segmented`, `restored`, `aligned`, `model-encoded`, `tts-candidate`,
`packaged-pair-candidate`, or `pair-plan`). Do not infer lineage from repository names; use
catalog revisions and parents.
