How we validate the moments Retensis flags

What we tested

When Retensis Vision 2 analyses a video, it flags specific moments on the timeline. This test answers one question about those moments: are they anchored to the structure of your edit, or could the same timestamps have come from anywhere?

A tool that scatters plausible looking timestamps across a video is indistinguishable from one that reads it, unless somebody measures the difference. So we measured it.

What we measured

We measured whether the moments Retensis flags are genuinely anchored to the structure of an edit, under controls that were fixed before the run.

Results

The test was run across 497 flagged moments and cleared both controls.

The odds of chance alone producing a result that good are about 1 in 900 against the first control and about 1 in 5,000 against the second.

What this means

The moments Retensis flags are tied to the structure of your edit. They are not distributed at random, and they are not generic timestamps that would fit any video of that length.

The practical consequence is that a flagged moment is worth opening. It points at a real decision in the edit, so the timestamp is a place to look rather than a number to take on faith.

Scope

This test measures one thing: how closely the moments Retensis flags align with the cuts in your edit.

The run published here was produced by Retensis Vision 2 and executed on 2026-09-19. Results are recorded per engine generation, so a future generation is measured on its own terms rather than inheriting these numbers.
