Quality & Review

Turn uncertain data
into trusted ground truth.

Validate annotations, resolve ambiguity, surface low-confidence work, and continuously improve dataset quality with expert review, AI-assisted checks, and complete provenance.

Intelligent routing means humans focus on the examples that need actual judgment — everything else moves through automatically.

Intelligent Routing

Human attention goes only where it's needed.

Expert Validation

Specialists judge the cases that need judgment.

Complete Provenance

Every judgment keeps its who, when, and why.

Measurable Quality

Trust is a number you can watch move.

01The Challenge

Quality isn’t binary.

Real-world annotations live on a spectrum: ambiguous boundaries, honest disagreement, occluded and failing sensors, rare edge cases, and calls that only domain expertise can make. A pass/fail gate can’t see any of that.

The four quality challenges: Ambiguity — two valid interpretations may exist; Inconsistency — two people can see the same behavior differently; Data Quality — blur, occlusion, and missing sensors hide the truth; Domain Judgment — some decisions require expertise, not majority vote

02Route

Review what matters.
Skip what doesn’t.

Sentious combines confidence, disagreement, quality signals, historical reviewer behavior, and workflow rules to determine which examples require review and where they should go.

03Review

Give reviewers
the context to make
the right decision.

A reviewer never sees a label in isolation. Every modality plays back in sync, annotations sit beside model signals, and the complete history is one click away — so the judgment is informed, not guessed.

  • Synchronized multi-camera playback
  • Editable timelines and object tracks
  • Model predictions and confidence
  • Annotation history and diffs
  • Reviewer notes and escalation

04Consensus

Turn disagreement
into signal.

Contributor disagreement can reveal ambiguous instructions, hard examples, weak taxonomies, or genuine uncertainty in the underlying data.

Consensus: three contributors annotate the same moment differently (Grasp, Contact, Grasp), agreement lands at 67%, the decision routes to expert review, and the disagreement causes are surfaced — boundary ambiguity, taxonomy overlap, object occlusion, and instruction ambiguity

05Provenance

Know how every label
became ground truth.

Every annotation is stored with a complete audit trail — from initial model suggestion to final verification.

Provenance: the full lineage from AI suggestion through contributor annotation, reviewer correction, and expert validation to verified distilled ground truth, beside the annotation details — ID, state, revision, source model, and final confidence 0.97

06Quality

Measure quality
at every layer.

Track accuracy, agreement, sensor completeness, and dataset readiness across your entire program.

Quality analytics: annotation accuracy 97.3%, reviewer agreement 94.8%, sensor completeness 99.1%, dataset readiness 92.6%, quality over time, error categories, and quality by task

07Expert Review

When judgment matters,
bring in the right expert.

Route specialized examples to reviewers who understand the domain, task, hardware, or environment — not simply the next available person.

Expert review tiers: Domain Reviewers across robotics, medicine, science, engineering, and finance; QA Specialists checking policy adherence, schema consistency, sensors, and completeness; Senior Adjudicators resolving disagreements and edge cases; and reviewer operations — 42 active reviewers, 18 domain experts, 6 senior adjudicators, 94.8% agreement

08Continuous Improvement

Every correction
improves what comes next.

Reviewer insights feed back into better instructions, improved preannotations, contributor training, and more effective data collection.

The continuous loop: Collect real-world data, Annotate with humans and AI, Review to validate and improve, Distill ground truth, Evaluate model performance, and Insights on what to collect next — with the return path closing the cycle

Build trusted data

Better models start with
ground truth you can trust.
