Mosaic

Viewer-moment curation — bespoke title sets, per moment.

Mosaic produces bespoke curated title sets for the specific viewer at the specific moment. It fuses a supply-side content vector with a demand-side cohort vector to compose mosaics — small, intentional sets of titles, each expressing one coherent curatorial intent.

Under active development. Engineered and demonstrated against synthetic reference catalogs — not yet proven in production. The most forward-looking of the eleven.

Who it's for

For the people shaping what audiences see.

Programming / Curation Lead

Sets with a point of view.

Curated sets that express a coherent intent — not just "more like this."

Product / Personalization

One engine, every surface.

The same curation substrate across home rail, search re-rank and post-completion.

Audience Strategy

Curation that responds.

Composition that reacts to real viewer behavior and a target the business wants to grow.

What it is

Two vectors, one curatorial intent.

Where conventional recommendation asks "what is similar to what they watched," Mosaic asks "what curatorial intent serves this viewer-moment, and which titles best express it." It is a distributor-side substrate — an integration layer between catalog, engagement signals and frontend surfaces, not a standalone app — that composes bespoke, cohort-shaped, moment-aware mosaics: bounded, intentional sets of titles, not endless rails.

A supply-side vector characterizes every title across 50–100+ dimensions; a demand-side vector resolves viewers into cohort assignments with confidence, cold-start handled structurally by cohort defaults. A desired-audience lever lets a distributor bias composition toward a cohort it wants to grow. The substrate is canonical across surfaces — home rail, search re-rank, post-completion and a live-event companion.

Capabilities

Composition, not just recommendation.

Six substrate capabilities turn catalog and signal into purposeful, moment-aware sets.

01

Supply-side understanding

Every title characterized across 50–100+ dimensions — thematic, narrative, visual, audio, performer, era, audience-affinity — continuously, at ingest.

50–100+ dimsContinuous
02

Demand-side modeling

Viewers resolve into cohort assignments with confidence; individualization only at the description layer; cold-start handled by cohort defaults.

Cohort-firstCold-start
03

Curatorial-intent composition

Different cohorts on the same library produce materially different mosaics; the same cohort at different moments produces different mosaics.

Cohort-shapedMoment-aware
04

Desired-audience lever

A distributor specifies a target cohort to grow; mosaics bias directionally in vector space, measured as cohort-aggregate growth.

05

Live-event companion

Five phases — pre-game, live, halftime, post-game, next-day — compose five distinct mosaics for the same viewer and library.

06

Multi-tenant isolation

A viewer’s signal in one tenant cannot leak to another — enforced at storage and validated against an adversarial test harness (in progress).

Per-schemaIn progress

Each serve returns mosaic items plus a structured rationale, a freshness-signaling decision and an audit pointer — auditable curation, with the default a single mosaic of eight titles and a supported range of 1–3 mosaics of 6–14 titles.

The substrate

Four substrate domains.

One canonical substrate composes every mosaic — engineered and demonstrated against synthetic reference tenants.

The operator interface

Three surfaces over one substrate.

Composed into the distributor’s existing experiences — no standalone app.

Editorial

Curator Console

Editorial control over intent and composition.

Viewer

Viewer Experience

Mosaics surfaced into existing end-user rails.

Moment

Live-Event Companion

Phase-aware mosaics across a live event.

Deployment & integrations

Three topologies, one codebase.

Deployment

The same substrate, deployed to fit the distributor’s sovereignty and scale.

Vela-managed shared cloud — FAST and mid-market.
Single-tenant managed cloud — major SVOD and regulated.
On-premise / private cloud — news, sports rights-holders, strict sovereignty.
Privacy by architecture — per-schema isolation, no per-viewer features persisted, region residency.

Integrations

A delivery-agnostic boundary that consumes catalog and signal — it does not author them.

Delivery — REST, gRPC, in-process binding or batch-snapshot.
Catalog ingest — real-time, hourly or daily; no rebuild.
Engagement capture — tenant-scoped, with treatment-id for off-policy eval.
Consumes — catalog tags and metadata (not a CMS).
The proposition

Supply. Demand. Mosaic.

Mosaic fuses what the catalog contains with who is watching, into a set with a point of view.

Supply

Content vector

Every title across 50–100+ dimensions.

Demand

Cohort vector

Viewers resolved into cohorts with confidence.

Compose

The mosaic

A bounded set expressing one intent.

Status

Engineered, not yet in production.

Demonstrated against reference catalogs — capability-grade, ahead of a first production integration.

Status in development

Under active development; demonstrated against synthetic reference catalogs, with no paying distributor integrated yet.

Demonstrated capability synthetic

Different audience targets produce materially different sets, and adjacent live-event phases stay distinct — measured on simulated tenants.
