Dormant livestream VODs, virtual-summit broadcast files, office-hours archives, and fireside-dump recordings reactivated into vertical recut inventory. Qualified per view, billed only on the cuts that cleared the brief.
DIY video tools (OpusClip, Klap, Vizard) auto-generate cuts and leave qualification to the brand.
Agencies sell effort. Marketplaces sell volume. FORKOFF sells qualified outcomes.
Vault-miner intakes the dormant inventory (livestream VODs, virtual-summit broadcast files, office-hours archives, fireside dumps, AMA replays, gaming-stream highlights, ungated-replay vaults) and runs three-pass scoring: evergreen-relevance, take-density, salvageable-frame ratio.
Recent material (under 90 days) recuts against warm-audience cohort. Mid-vintage (3 to 18 months) recuts with hook-layer compensation for time-decay bias. Long-vintage (over 18 months) recuts only where the take demonstrably survives the calendar shift.
Music-clearance, broadcaster-rights, chat-overlay anonymisation gates run before recut surfaces. Cleared files ship as standalone recuts the brand owns outright. uncleared files return to the brand for re-execution before the next pass.
Brands build dormant video archives faster than they can reuse them. A founder who livestreams once a week ships 52 hours of VOD a year and revisits maybe four. A multi-day virtual summit makes a 30-hour broadcast archive that reaches 6 percent of the viewer base.
A weekly office-hours livestream holds evergreen takes the founder treats as obvious and never revisits. This dormant inventory is the under-priced library. Reactivating it is the highest-ROI lane open to brands that already paid the production cost.
FORKOFF reactivates these archives through a vault-mining flow, not an episodic recut. The vault-miner pulls the dormant inventory: livestream VODs, summit files, office-hours archives, fireside dumps, AMA replays, gaming-stream highlights, ungated-replay vaults. It runs a three-pass scoring matrix.
Pass one: evergreen-relevance score. Does the take hold up 24 months later. Pass two: take-density score. How many high-signal moments per ten minutes of source.
Pass three: salvageable-frame ratio. What share of the source clears the vertical-recut aesthetic floor. Top-quartile material gets routed. Below-floor material gets retired.
Vintage windows shape the recut. Recent material (under 90 days) recuts against the warm-audience cohort that watched the original. Mid-vintage (3 to 18 months) recuts against an extended-discovery cohort with a fresh hook layer to offset time decay.
Long-vintage material (over 18 months) recuts only when the take still holds and the recut names the time shift on screen. Vault-mining honours these windows so the output respects the audience response curve rather than treating every vault file as identical.
Salvage-rate economics is the second wedge. Live broadcast material has imperfections podcast and stage-talk material avoid: dropped frames, audio sync drift, latency stalls, chat-overlay artefacts, sponsor-read breaks, tech-error pauses. The vault-miner ships a salvage-rate score per source asset. The brand reads the real recut yield before funding the next tier.
Brands without this rate visibility overshoot the archive forecast every time.
The brand owns the vault output outright. Recuts ship as standalone assets the brand reuses across owned channels, paid-media tests, sales decks, partner-syndication kits, and investor or board updates. Music-clearance, broadcaster-rights, and chat-overlay anonymisation run at the vault-miner pass. Uncleared files return to the brand for re-execution before any recut ships.
The vault tier starts at the $5K sandbox because the audit, scoring. And vintage review run before the first qualified view lands.

▸ FORKOFF case archive
An anonymized FORKOFF Video Clipping Service sandbox campaign cleared 1.6M qualified views against a $5K brief at $0.003 CPQV. The qualification engine logged ~37% of raw playback as filtered (sub-watch-time, geo-mismatch, sanctioned-region, or traffic-validity flagged) and excluded that volume from billing. Brand reconciled per-view ledger against MMP records the same week. Specific brand name redacted under NDA. The case structure is representative of the sandbox tier the strategist locks at brief acceptance.
