Human judgment, built in.

A model learns from the answers people give it, and it is judged by the test they write. Philotic’s own labeling team writes both to one standard, with the people who do the work making the hard calls, and your experts teaching the model from their daily workflow.

The hard calls go to people who make them for a living.

Labels you can build a model on.

Domain experts on the hard calls

Severity, edge cases and anything ambiguous go to people who do the job, such as appraisers for vehicle damage. Not an anonymous crowd guessing at a guideline.

One standard per domain

Every domain has a written labeling guide, and agreement between reviewers is measured on every batch, so a label means the same thing on Monday as on Friday.

Test sets you can trust

Held-out sets are labeled to that standard, reviewed and frozen. Every model version is judged on the same items, so progress is real and measurable.

Your experts teach the model

Every accept, correction or rejection your people make in their workflow becomes a label, and those labels belong to you.

Confidential by design

From guide to frozen test.

  • GuideThe domain’s written standard, with worked examples of the hard cases.
  • LabelAnnotators answer each item against the guide.
  • Expert callAnything uncertain or high-stakes goes to a domain expert, who makes the final call.
  • AgreementReviewer agreement is measured on every batch. A batch that falls short is reviewed again before it is used.
  • FreezeTest items are reviewed and frozen, so the evaluation set never moves under a model.

The difference is who decides.

Compared with typical crowd labeling.
