[ STATION / REMOTE INTERVIEWS ]

[ THE PROBLEM ]
Consumer recording tools were never built for this kind of conversation.
Sources you can't burn
Whistleblowers, victims, vulnerable witnesses, employees on background. The platform's loose data handling is your professional risk.
Retention promises you can't keep
You told a source you'd delete after publication. The SaaS keeps a copy, a log entry, a vector embedding, a backup of the backup. Your promise was a marketing line.
No chain of custody
When legal asks who accessed an interview and when, 'the cloud' isn't an answer. You need an audit log that survives the conversation.
[ THE ANSWER ]
What CraterSync gives interviewers instead.
Per-session encryption
Every interview gets its own AES-256 key, bound by AAD to your org and session. Cross-session unwrap is infeasible. Your interview is sealed, not just stored.
Audit log you can export
Every action that touches the recording -- create, view, export, delete -- is logged with user, time, and tenant. Export the log when you need to prove who did what.
Crypto-shred, not soft delete
When the retention window closes, we destroy the session key. The data isn't 'deleted' -- it's mathematically unrecoverable. The deletion promise is a math guarantee.
Tenant isolation by design
Postgres row-level security, per-org schema scoping, denormalized org IDs on every record. Bypassing isolation requires bypassing three layers.
Transcript-ready exports
MP4 + WAV out of the box. Hand the WAV to your transcription pipeline, the MP4 to legal review, the per-track masters to the editor. No re-export tax.
Scales to dedicated infra
Need a custom DPA, right-to-review, vanity domain? Move from Managed to Dedicated when the conversation requires it. Same product, isolated stack.
[ THE SPECS ]

[ NO-RISK PILOT ]
Run a real interview before procurement gets the brief.
Pick Studio ($299/mo), conduct an actual interview, export the recording, walk your security team through the audit log, test the retention window. If the security review doesn't clear within 30 days, we refund every cent.
[ NOT A FIT IF... ]
We're a bad fit if.
- --You're recording marketing interviews and don't care where they live. Free Zoom is cheaper and the AI fluff might even help you.
- --You need court-grade evidentiary recording with notarized chain of custody. Talk to us about Dedicated first -- our defaults are strong but custodial-grade has additional requirements.
- --You need real-time machine translation or simultaneous interpretation built in. Today, that's not us.
