Crowd-as-a-service

Our people, your platform, your guidelines, with the quality machinery still attached.

What crowd-as-a-service means here

Some teams already have the tooling and the taxonomy. What they do not have is fifty qualified Tamil speakers available on Monday.

We recruit, verify, qualify and manage the workforce, and they work inside your platform. You keep the tooling and the data path; we keep the recruitment, payments, tax handling, quality scoring and fraud controls.

How the data is collected

From the first brief to the batch you receive, step by step.

  1. 01

    Sourced from the community and vendors

    Teams are built from vetted individual contributors and from vendor partners, matched to the language, domain and volume of your project.

  2. 02

    Verified before paid work

    Identity, language ability and any required credential are checked once, then the contributor takes a task-specific qualification test.

  3. 03

    Managed day to day

    A project lead owns allocation, throughput and quality against the bar you set, and you see the same dashboards we do.

  4. 04

    Works where you need

    Teams work inside your annotation tool and security controls, or inside our platform, under your logging and retention rules.

  5. 05

    Paid properly

    Transparent per-task rates, a published payout schedule and an appeal route on every rejection, which keeps good people on your project.

How a project runs

  1. 01

    Scoping call

    We agree volume, languages, demographic quotas, formats and what counts as a rejected item.

  2. 02

    Guidelines and gold set

    Written guidelines with worked examples, plus a gold set every contributor is tested against.

  3. 03

    Pilot batch

    A small paid batch you accept before anything scales. Most guideline problems surface here.

  4. 04

    Production

    Work flows through capture checks, automated QC, peer review and expert review.

  5. 05

    Delivery

    Incremental batches in your format with a data card, QA report and agreement scores.

  6. 06

    Iteration

    Rejections feed back into the guidelines so the same mistake is not made twice.

How quality is checked

Checks that run during the work, not a sample at the end.

  • Task-specific qualification before live work
  • Monthly re-certification for each team
  • Hidden gold tasks to measure output continuously
  • Bench capacity so one resignation does not stall a batch
  • Escalation route to a project lead on every team

Questions we get asked

How fast can a team ramp?

Two to four weeks for a standard language pod, longer where KYC or a professional credential is required.

Can the team be exclusive to us?

Yes, on a dedicated arrangement. NDA-only private workforces are available where the data requires it.

Who manages day-to-day quality?

We do, against the bar you set. You get the same dashboards and agreement statistics as on a managed project.
