Research export

Score a recording (or the bundled battery) exactly like hotato run and get three research-grade files: the events, the per-frame evidence, and the machine envelope. Stdlib only, offline.

bash
uvx hotato export --stereo call.wav --out research/
uvx hotato export --suite barge-in --out research/

The three files

FileOne row perWhat it carries
events.csvscored eventevery measured signal plus the verdict: did_yield, seconds_to_yield, talk_over_sec, onset, latency signals, fix class
frames.csvVAD framethe evidence behind every number: t_sec, per-channel dBFS, active flags, thresholds, and noise floors
envelope.jsonrunthe standard machine envelope, unchanged

Self-describing columns

Column meanings are documented in comment lines at the top of each CSV, so the files still explain themselves when they land in a notebook or a stats package months later.

events.csv
# hotato events export. One row per scored event; every value is a real
# measurement from the scorer (empty cell = not derivable, never fabricated).
# Columns:
#   event_id              stable id of the event (file basename or scenario id)
#   scenario_id           battery scenario id (empty for a single recording)
#   title                 human label of the event
#   ...
Empty means empty

An empty cell means the value was not derivable from the recording, never zero and never a stand-in. Frame rows are re-derivable by hand: active is dbfs >= threshold carried by the hangover, and both constants sit in the same row.

Works with the whole surface

The same scenario and audio directories the CLI takes elsewhere work here too, so you can export a tiered suite, a captured call (capture guides), or your own labelled set with one flag change.
