Calibre Request a pilot batchPilot batch

Your model’s next lap starts with better data.

We build the data, train the model, run it, and have experts review what it says. Every miss becomes the next batch, so each lap is better and cheaper to run.

Most vendors sell you one lap.

The data ships, and the vendor leaves.
The people who labelled it never see how the model did, so the same gaps get labelled the same way next time.
Your model’s misses never come back.
Failures in evals and production stay on a dashboard instead of becoming the next batch.
The guidelines drift as the team grows.
Batch 1 and batch 40 are graded by different people against a slightly different reading of the guidelines.

Sample record

We train to your target, then stop.

You set the score the model has to reach. We add a training stage only when the last one falls short, so you never pay for stages you don’t need. The dotted line is the best score your labels allow.

Sample run. The training autopilot is in pilot.

You approve the training plan. We run exactly that.

Every run starts as a plan you sign off: which data, which guidelines, the target and the compute budget. If anything changes after you approve it, the run won’t start until you approve it again.

No surprises on your bill or in your model. Try changing the plan after it’s approved. Sample plan. In pilot.

    You see every decision we make while training.

    Every choice is written down as it happens: the model size, the memory plan, each stage. When something fails, we handle it and log what we did, so you can read exactly what happened.

    Two failures overnight, both handled and logged. Nothing hidden, and nothing for your team to fix. Sample run. In pilot.

    Experts read what your model says in production.

    We sample live outputs at a rate you choose. Experts mark each one right or wrong and write the fix, which goes straight into the next lap’s training data.

      Spend the review budget where the mistakes are.

      Random sampling mostly finds answers that were fine. Confidence-based sampling sends experts the outputs your model was least sure of first.

      Reviewed, wrongReviewed, fineNot reviewed

      200 sample outputs, 20 reviews. Confidence-based sampling is in pilot.

      Every fix cites the rule it enforces.

      Experts don’t just rewrite a bad answer. They point to the line of your policy it broke, so the model learns the rule, not someone’s opinion.

      A fix with a citation can be checked, appealed and reused. Appeals have to cite a clause too.

        Same answers, a fraction of the cost to serve.

        We distil your best model into smaller students and score each against the same gold set. You set the quality floor; the smallest model that clears it ships.

        Sample models. Distillation runs in the training autopilot, in pilot.

        The student practises. The teacher marks every word.

        The smaller model answers for itself and the larger one corrects it as it goes. Experts spot-check the teacher, so the student doesn’t learn the teacher’s mistakes.

        By round four the student says what the teacher would. Sample rounds. On-policy distillation is in pilot.

        Is ibuprofen fine with warfarin?

        Matches the teacher0%

        Teacher: No. Ibuprofen raises bleeding risk with warfarin. Paracetamol is usually safer; check with your prescriber. Expert spot-check passed.

        Smaller also means sooner.

        A distilled model doesn’t just cost less to serve; it answers faster. Same question, same answer, side by side.

        A score for every clause, every lap.

        Each lap is scored on a held-out gold set your model never trains on, broken down by guideline clause. A clause that slips is caught before the model ships.

        The overall score can rise while one rule gets worse. This is where you see it. Sample scores

        Every miss gets a cause. The cause becomes the next lap’s brief.

        We sample mistakes from every batch and trace each to its cause. Disputes go to a blind arbitrator, and appeals must cite the clause they rely on.

        Each cause has its own fix, so the same mistake doesn’t come back next batch. 30 sample mistakes from one audit

        Is it the model or the data?

        When labels contradict each other, no model can score above a certain line. We measure that ceiling every lap, so the next lap’s money goes to more training or to cleaner data, whichever actually helps.

        Questions research teams ask first.

        Who writes the data?

        Vetted domain experts: clinicians, lawyers, analysts, engineers and mathematicians, matched to each task. Every one passes a paid trial task scored against a gold set before working on client data.

        How do you measure quality?

        Two experts label each item independently. We score their agreement, send anything below your bar to a third expert, and spot-check against a hidden gold set. You get those numbers per batch, not a summary at the end.

        How fast can you start?

        We write the guidelines with your team, run a 100-item calibration batch, review it together, then scale. Most of the time goes into the guidelines, which are the part that decides quality.

        Is this RLHF?

        RLHF is one way to train on human judgement: experts rank answers and the model learns to prefer the better ones. We supply that judgement, and also example answers and test sets. What we sell is the loop around it: each lap, your model’s misses come back to experts and become the next batch.

        Who is responsible for the model’s performance?

        We are, against targets agreed with you before the first lap: a gold-set score per guideline clause, response time and uptime. You approve every training plan, and every lap is reported against those targets.

        Do you use AI to label?

        Only if you want it. Our agents can pre-label, and experts correct every item. Each run reports how often the agents matched the experts, so you can see whether it saves you anything.

        What happens when our guidelines change?

        The change is drafted, reviewed and signed off, gold answers move to the new version, and every annotator passes a check on the new clause before labelling again. Each item records which version it was labelled under.

        What does it cost?

        Priced per item by task type and expert domain, quoted after the calibration batch so the price reflects real effort, not a guess.
