A controlled delivery loop

Start with alignment. Finish with data your team can use.

Each project is scoped around its own modality, risk, and quality bar. The stages below are connected checkpoints—not a one-size-fits-all production promise.

Requirements

We define the intended use, data type, class taxonomy, edge cases, acceptance thresholds and delivery schema with your team.

Collection

Collection sources, participant requirements, consent terms and recording protocols are agreed before data capture. Calibration can use a scoped pilot where appropriate.

Annotation

Project contributors apply calibrated guidelines across the agreed modalities, labels and output schema.

Review

Reviewers check consistency, completeness and guideline adherence, escalating uncertain items instead of guessing.

Senior QA

Senior QA reviews escalations, recurring error patterns and the agreed quality samples.

Validation

Validate data structure, metadata, acceptance criteria and client feedback before final handoff.

Secure delivery

Structured output ships in your preferred schema — COCO, Pascal VOC, custom JSON, or your internal format — on a cadence you set.

Operating principles

What keeps a large annotation team consistent.

Visibility

Quality visibility

Agree on useful progress and review reporting for your project before work begins.

Ownership

Project coordination

Define communication cadence, review checkpoints and escalation contacts during project planning.

Security

Confidentiality planning

NDA support and project-specific data handling and delivery requirements can be discussed before transfer.
