Which usage rights should a model lab clarify before licensing a review pack?

Labs should clarify rights for training, evaluation, modification and redistribution separately, because access to generated material does not by itself define every permitted downstream use.

**Does access to a sample establish rights for model training?**

A buyer should ask what uses the applicable licence permits. Sample inspection, internal evaluation and training are distinct activities; the agreement should address the uses the lab intends rather than leaving them implicit.

**What downstream uses need discussion?**

Ask about modifying records, combining the pack with other material, retaining derived labels and sharing access with contractors or affiliated research teams. If the lab intends to publish evaluation cases or redistribute a transformed dataset, identify that plan explicitly.

**Does public retrieval settle these questions?**

Material exposed through a website, downloadable export or public MCP server still needs clear usage information. Technical accessibility does not by itself explain the scope of permission for reuse.

**What should the lab bring to the discussion?**

A short description of where the generated material will enter its pipeline, who will access it and which artefacts may leave the organisation. MirrorFirm's agreed licence would need to address the proposed use; this entry does not establish particular terms. The commercial deliverable should be understood as generated material throughout that discussion.
