What is LLM and AI model evaluation?

LLM evaluation, or AI model evaluation, is the measurement of a model’s outputs against defined quality criteria. Expert-led evaluation is the practice of having qualified subject-matter experts — rather than crowd workers or automated metrics alone — judge the outputs of a large language model or AI agent against those criteria. Physicians score clinical answers, lawyers score legal reasoning, native speakers score fluency, and engineers score code.

Shaip runs this as a managed service: we translate your quality bar into a calibrated rubric, assign the right experts from a pool of more than 10,000, audit agreement and consistency throughout, and return scores, rankings, rationales and error taxonomies in the format your training or release pipeline expects.

Why teams outsource evaluation to Shaip

Why in-house and marketplace model evaluation stalls

Standing up a qualified evaluation bench yourself is slow, and expert marketplaces hand you people, not results. Here is what that costs you — and how a managed project removes it.

Doing it alone stalls

  • Months to assemble a bench. Recruiting and vetting physicians, lawyers or native speakers takes 8–12 weeks before the first item is scored.
  • Rubric drift. Without calibration rounds, evaluators read the same guideline differently and scores stop meaning anything.
  • Agreement decays unnoticed. Nobody measures inter-rater agreement, so a quality problem surfaces only after the data is already used.
  • No multi-domain, multilingual bench. One project needs Hindi medical evaluators; the next needs German legal. A marketplace makes you start over each time.
  • You manage the people, not the outcome. Marketplaces leave project management, QA and re-work with your team.

With Shaip, it's handled

  • A calibrated bench in ~10 days. 10,000+ vetted experts across 20+ domains and 50+ languages, ready on tap.
  • We design and own the rubric, with worked examples and calibration rounds so scores stay comparable.
  • Agreement audited weekly with blind double-scoring and seeded gold items. Target: 98% inter-rater agreement.
  • Quality re-work is ours, not yours, and Ubiquity's global delivery footprint scales the volume.
  • You get finished results — scores, rationales and error taxonomies — in the format your pipeline expects.

How it works

How our LLM & AI model evaluation process works

A managed, end-to-end model evaluation workflow from brief to pipeline-ready delivery — with quality built in at every step.

Brief & rubric design

We take your success criteria, failure modes and sample outputs and turn them into a scoring rubric with worked examples.

3–5 days

Expert selection & calibration

Experts are matched by credential, domain and language, then complete a calibration set. Only evaluators above the agreement threshold enter production.

Credential-verified

Evaluation with continuous QA

Blind double-scoring on a sample, gold items seeded throughout, weekly agreement and drift reports.

Target 98% IRR

Pipeline-ready delivery

Scores, rankings, rationales, error taxonomies and corrected responses as JSONL, CSV or via API — with a findings summary and recommended fixes.

How we evaluate

Our LLM & AI model evaluation methods

We choose the human evaluation protocol that fits your decision — a release gate, a model-vs-model comparison, or a research question.

📋

Rubric-based scoring

Absolute quality measurement against defined criteria — the backbone of release gates and regression tracking.

⚖️

Pairwise & ranked comparison

Choosing between model versions, prompts or vendors; produces preference data usable for RLHF and DPO.

🎯

Gold-set & benchmark evaluation

Repeatable LLM benchmarks where experts write the reference answer first and outputs are scored against it.

🧮

LLM-as-a-judge calibration

Validating automated evaluators against human judgment before you trust them at scale.

🗣️

Multilingual fluency & fidelity

Native-speaker scoring of language quality, dialect and cultural appropriateness in 50+ languages.

🧩

Custom protocol

Long-context review, interactive probing or any bespoke evaluation protocol your research team specifies.

Why domain experts matter

The domain experts behind your model evaluation

Crowd workers can tell you if an answer reads well. Only a qualified expert can tell you if it is right — which is what human evaluation of LLMs is for.

🩺

Medical professionals

Physicians, nurses and pharmacists score clinical accuracy, safety and guideline adherence.

⚖️

Legal professionals

Lawyers and paralegals evaluate legal reasoning, jurisdiction accuracy and risk.

💹

Financial specialists

Analysts and accountants judge numerical correctness and regulatory language.

🗣️

Native speakers

Linguists in 50+ languages score fluency, dialect and cultural fit.

💻

Software engineers

Developers assess code correctness, security and style across languages.

💬

Customer support & CX leads

Experienced support and CX leads score chatbots, copilots and voice agents for accuracy, tone, escalation and task completion.

It is the scoring of LLM or AI agent outputs by qualified subject-matter experts against a defined rubric, run as a managed project by Shaip rather than by a crowd or an automated metric alone. Shaip designs the rubric, runs the evaluation, audits quality and delivers pipeline-ready results.

We translate your quality bar into a calibrated rubric and score outputs with credentialed experts, screening at scale with automated metrics and reserving expert judgment for what automation cannot measure. You receive scores, rationales, error taxonomies and recommended fixes.

No. Shaip runs the evaluation end to end with its own experts and delivers the results. That keeps calibration, quality and accountability with us, not with your team.

A calibrated rubric and a qualified expert bench are typically in production within 10 days of the brief. Rubric design alone usually takes 3–5 days.

Credential verification, domain and language testing, a calibration set before production, blind double-scoring, seeded gold items and weekly agreement reports. We target 98% inter-rater agreement.

More than 20 professional domains including healthcare, legal, finance and software, and 50+ languages including 13 Indian languages.

JSONL, CSV or direct integration into your platform via API, with scores, rankings, rationales, error taxonomies and corrected responses, plus a summary of findings and recommended fixes.

Yes. Shaip evaluates single-turn answers, multi-turn conversations and full AI agent trajectories, including tool use and task completion, against a rubric we build with you.

Yes. Automated metrics provide coverage at scale; our experts handle the judgment calls and calibrate the automated judges so you can trust the scores at volume.

Pricing is per project or per evaluated item, scoped to your brief — there is no per-expert-hour billing. Shaip is SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and GDPR compliant, and every engagement runs under NDA in access-controlled environments.
