What a business dataset delivery manifest should contain

Make files, records, schemas, and versions easy to reconcile before a collection enters your workflow.

Identify every delivered artifact

List the relative path, stable identifier, format, size, and relevant record or page count for each file. Include checksums when agreed so the receiver can verify transfer integrity. Separate source artifacts from derived text, labels, and documentation rather than making the buyer infer their roles from filenames.

Explain relationships and versions

Document which annotation file belongs to which document, which table keys connect exports, and which release supersedes an earlier batch. A predictable directory structure helps, but a machine-readable manifest makes those relationships explicit. Record withdrawn or replaced items so incremental updates do not create ambiguous duplicate records.

Include coverage and exception summaries

Provide counts by document type, source period, language, or other agreed dimensions. List known missing artifacts, unreadable pages, unresolved labels, and excluded records separately. A delivery summary should describe what is present and uncertain, without presenting completed processing as confirmation that every source is suitable for every use.

Reconcile against acceptance criteria

Compare manifest totals with the sampling plan and inspect representative linked artifacts. Check that identifiers resolve and that documentation matches the actual fields. Discuss these expectations with Fiund at the briefing stage so prospective source and delivery plans can be reviewed against a shared, concrete definition of completeness. Run a reconciliation on one document bundle: locate the original file, its extracted text, the label file, and the associated coverage entry. Check that each identifier agrees and that the manifest points to the delivered revision. This small trace can expose packaging problems that aggregate file counts alone cannot reveal.

Review checklist

  • List files with stable identifiers
  • Map source and derived artifacts
  • Summarize coverage and exceptions
  • Reconcile totals with agreed scope

Your project, in focus

Send the document types, fields, and coverage you need.

Speak directly with Jaeden Schafer at Fiund about the source material, specifications, and review your project needs.

Source fit, permissions, samples, pricing, and delivery are reviewed for the individual project.

  1. Document types or table schemas
  2. Languages, regions, and date coverage
  3. Volume by category
  4. Ground truth and sensitive-data requirements
  5. Intended use and licensing scope
