Scope as written: not generalising past a sentence
Scope as written means recording the boundary a vendor put on a statement. A mark described on downloads from one surface is recorded that way, not generalised to everything the model produces. As of 2026-09-22.
| The term | Scope as written |
|---|---|
| What it names | The discipline of keeping a vendor's own boundary on a statement |
| What it is not | A refusal to record anything general |
| Where the register uses it | Several visible-mark and control values |
Inclusion rule. Words this site uses in a narrow sense, where the ordinary sense would lead a reader to misread a cell. No vendor statement appears on this page. Order. Fixed order: what the word names, what it excludes, then where it is used here.
1A sentence with an edge in it
Vendors often qualify a marking statement without drawing attention to it: videos downloaded from our website and app, output of a request that sets a field, content generated under these plans. Each of those is a boundary, and dropping it would turn a narrow true statement into a broad unsupported one.
So the register keeps the phrase. The cell says what the statement covers and the reading says what it does not, which is usually the more actionable half for anybody integrating a model through a route the sentence did not mention.
2Why the restraint is not excessive caution
A statement scoped to one route can be true while its generalisation is false, because a second route may behave differently and a page about the first will not say how. A register that generalised would be right only where the routes happen to agree, and could not tell a reader which case they were in.
So where a second route exists and is undocumented, the register says so rather than assuming it matches the first.
3What it looks like in a cell
Values name the surface or route where the vendor named one: the documented interface, downloads from the vendor's own properties. Where a vendor attached a plan group rather than a surface, the group is named instead.
The cost is cells that read less crisply than a yes or no. The benefit is that a reader can tell whether a statement covers the way they actually use the product, which a crisper cell would hide.
Nothing on this page is a vendor statement; the values it helps read are on the support table, with the page and the date each one was read from. See also the protocol page, what earns a row. Nearby terms: re-reading, register row, inclusion rule.
4A generator's own account
Next to the marking question in “Scope as written”, SceneMixer's pages describe its output like this:
SceneMixer writes dialogue into the script analysis, assigns each line to a shot with a speaker and a short delivery note, and the video model performs it — picture and audio generated together, so the mouth forms that sentence in the language you chose.
