Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What roles can I staff fastest?
Doctors (consumer health), linguists for priority languages, coders for code evals, STEM PhDs for math/physics, and finance SMEs (IB/CA/CPA).
2. Can work be done on our infrastructure?
Yes. Bring‑your‑own tools or use ours. We support secure, privacy‑aligned execution and weekly QA reporting.
3. Do you do RLHF and model evaluations?
Yes. We staff reward modeling and preference ranking, and we build eval rubrics and error taxonomies.
4. How quickly can we start?
Pilots in 48–72 hours for common roles/languages; specialized verticals may vary by compliance geography.
5. How are annotators/SMEs vetted?
Domain screens, scenario‑based tasks, shadowing, staged QA. High performers are promoted to QA leads; IRR targets are enforced.
6. Do you support DPAs/BAAs and regional data storage?
DPAs: We sign Data Processing Agreements aligned to GDPR, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for cross‑border transfers. Sub‑processor list, retention, and deletion terms are included. BAAs: For HIPAA‑covered work, we execute Business Associate Agreements. PHI is processed only in approved environments with access controls, audit logs, and documented SOPs. Regional data storage: Choose where your data lives (e.g., US, EU/EEA, UK, India, MENA). Data at rest, backups, and logs remain region‑locked by default.
7. How do you prevent bias and leakage?
Guidelines & training: Role‑specific annotation guides with examples of protected classes, cultural nuance, and harmful content. Mandatory bias‑awareness training and periodic refreshers. Sampling & QA: Stratified sampling to cover edge cases; dual‑pass review, gold sets, and IRR targets to detect systematic bias early. Fairness checks: Segment accuracy by language, dialect, and demographic attributes (where appropriate/consented). Red‑teaming: Adversarial prompts for safety, jailbreaks, PII/PHI exposure, and toxicity. Results feed an error taxonomy and mitigation backlog.
8. What’s the minimum commitment?
Pilot size: Typically 5–10 SMEs for 1–3 weeks. Scope: Fixed deliverables, capped hours, and success criteria (quality, speed, cost) agreed up front. Start time: Most common roles can begin in 48–72 hours (availability varies by language/vertical). After the pilot: Move to hourly/outcome‑based production, expand pods, or pause—no annual lock‑in.
9. Can we convert SMEs to FTE?
Yes—conversion is supported. Eligibility: Any SME on your project may be converted to your payroll with written notice. Fee model: Sliding‑scale conversion fee based on tenure and seniority; waived after a defined tenure (commonly 12 months on assignment). Knowledge transfer: We coordinate a clean handoff of SOPs, rubrics, gold sets, and dashboards.
