Data Annotation & AI Training Data

Turn raw data into AI-ready training data.

Structured labeling, evaluation and preparation for text, images, audio, video and LLM responses, with project-specific human quality control.

21 capabilitiesHuman-in-the-loopStructured QA
The business problem

Less friction.
A clearer next step.

Start with the work that is getting in the way. Build a focused scope around the decisions and handoffs that matter.

  • Raw data lacks consistent labels or usable structure.
  • Ambiguous guidelines create disagreement between reviewers.
  • Training and evaluation datasets need repeatable quality checks.
What is included

Practical capabilities. Clear boundaries.

A data annotation engagement is built around the parts your business actually needs.

Multimodal annotation

Scope labeling across text, image, video, audio, documents, 3D and geospatial data. Agree the ontology, format and review process before scaling.

LLM training & evaluation

Create and review prompts, rank responses, prepare fine-tuning examples and evaluate factuality, helpfulness and instruction following.

Collection & preparation

Assess sourcing rights, clean records and validate synthetic examples against an agreed specification.

Guidelines & quality assurance

Build annotation instructions, run a calibration pilot and use peer review, sampling and client feedback to resolve disagreement.

Human-in-the-loop quality

Quality is a process. Not a percentage on a page.

Acceptance thresholds, review methods and sampling are agreed for each project. Calibration happens before volume.

Client feedback loop

We document uncertainty and disagreement, revise guidelines with your team and keep an audit trail of corrections. Specialist medical, legal or financial review is available subject to project requirements and qualified reviewer availability.

Before we start

Questions about the work.

What is included in data annotation?

Scope is tailored around your goal. Typical deliverables include annotation guidelines and label schema, calibrated pilot batch, annotated dataset in agreed format, issue and disagreement log, qa summary and handover. We agree formats, review stages and acceptance criteria before starting.

How do we start and what do you need from us?

Start with your business challenge, audience, current workflow and available source material. We propose a focused scope, identify access requirements and agree a pilot or milestone plan.

Can you work with our current tools?

We plan around your existing systems where practical. Relevant tools may include Client-approved annotation platform, JSON / JSONL, CSV, COCO. Access, subscription costs and integration limitations are agreed in the scope.

How are quality and timelines agreed?

We define reviewable milestones and acceptance criteria for the specific project. Data complexity, volume, access and reviewer availability affect timelines. No fixed outcome or performance percentage is guaranteed.
