Slate metadata mismatch
Failure signal
A slate metadata mismatch condition is reported or detected during capture.
Likely cause
The controlling record, technical state or approved specification for capture does not match the current asset or workflow.
Verification
Compare visible slate, camera report, sound report and file metadata for the take.
Corrective action
Resolve with timecode and waveform evidence, then update the ingest log without erasing history.
Prevention
Add this verification to the capture gate, retain immutable evidence and assign one accountable owner.
