  • • Establishing quality benchmarks
  • • Defining communication protocols

Security Setup

  • • Data protection agreements and NDAs
  • • Secure environment configuration
  • • Access control implementation
  • • Compliance requirement verification

Stage 2: Data Collection

Secure data ingestion and preparation phase ensuring data integrity whilst maintaining strict confidentiality and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Secure Transfer

Encrypted data transfer through secure channels, with audit trails and access logging for complete traceability.

Data Validation

Verification of data completeness, format consistency, and quality checks before processing begins.

Data Organisation

Systematic categorisation, indexing, and preparation for efficient annotation workflows.

Stage 3: Annotation

Our expert annotators leverage advanced tools and domain knowledge to deliver precise, consistent annotations whilst adhering to project-specific guidelines.

Expert Execution

Trained specialists with domain expertise perform annotations following detailed guidelines and best practices.

  • • Domain-specific annotator assignment
  • • Comprehensive guideline training
  • • Real-time collaboration and support

AI-Assisted Tools

Proprietary platforms with AI assistance accelerate annotation whilst maintaining accuracy and consistency.

  • • Pre-annotation automation
  • • Consistency checks and suggestions
  • • Productivity optimisation features

Stage 4: Quality Check

Our rigorous multi-tier quality assurance process ensures 99.5% accuracy through systematic validation, peer review, and automated quality checks.

Level 1: Peer Review

Cross-verification by fellow annotators ensuring consistency and catching obvious errors early in the process.

Level 2: QA Team Audit

Dedicated quality analysts perform detailed audits using statistical sampling and comprehensive checklists.

Level 3: Final Validation

Senior quality managers conduct final validation before delivery, ensuring complete adherence to requirements.

Stage 5: Delivery

Secure, timely delivery of annotated data in client-specified formats with comprehensive documentation and metadata.

Format Conversion

Data delivered in required formats (JSON, XML, CSV, COCO, Pascal VOC, etc.) with proper structure and validation.

Secure Transmission

Encrypted transfer via secure channels (SFTP, API, cloud storage) with delivery confirmation and verification.

Stage 6: Feedback

Client review phase with iterative refinements ensuring complete satisfaction and alignment with project objectives.

Client Review

Structured review process with clear communication channels for feedback and clarifications.

Iterative Refinement

Rapid incorporation of feedback with re-annotation and validation as needed for perfection.

Final Approval

Formal sign-off process ensuring all requirements met and client satisfaction achieved.

Stage 7: Continuous Improvement

Post-project analysis and knowledge capture drive ongoing process optimisation and team capability enhancement.
