WHAT WE DO

The human expertise
behind better AI.

From the first annotation guideline to the final quality review, Altema helps turn complex data requirements into clearly defined work.

01 / COMPUTER VISION

Image & Video
Annotation

Structured labels for visual datasets, with attention to object boundaries, class consistency, and continuity across frames.

  • Bounding boxes & polygons
  • Segmentation & keypoints
  • Video tracking & frame review
Discuss annotation
02 / LANGUAGE & AI

LLM
Evaluation

Human review of model responses against explicit criteria, with clear reasoning and consistent application of evaluation rubrics.

  • Response & preference rating
  • Factuality & instruction following
  • Relevance & linguistic quality
Discuss evaluation
03 / DATA QUALITY

Dataset Quality
Assurance

Focused checks that uncover annotation errors, ambiguous instructions, and inconsistencies before the next stage.

  • Annotation audits & validation
  • Error categorization & review
  • Guideline consistency checks

IMAGE & VIDEO ANNOTATION

Every boundary
has a purpose.

Useful labels start with clear rules: what to include, how to handle occlusion, and when to flag uncertainty.

  • Define the taxonomy before labeling.
  • Apply consistent inclusion rules.
  • Review edge cases against the guidelines.

HOW WE WORK

A clear path from
brief to delivery.

Start with a focused pilot. Align on requirements, resolve edge cases, and agree on quality criteria before expanding the scope.

01

Define

Discuss your data, goals, tools, and expected outputs.

02

Pilot

Work through a representative sample and test the instructions.

03

Calibrate

Review edge cases and refine the acceptance criteria together.

04

Deliver & review

Complete the agreed work with quality checks and documented findings.

Scope, timing, formats, and review arrangements are agreed for each project.Start the conversation ↗

BEFORE WE BEGIN

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Every project starts with an honest conversation about fit.

Can we start with a small pilot?

Yes. A clearly scoped pilot is a practical way to review the guidelines, expected outputs, and working approach. Scope, pricing, and timing are agreed before work starts.

Which tools and output formats can you work with?

Relevant experience includes CVAT and Roboflow. Tell us about your existing workflow and required export format so compatibility can be assessed before committing to delivery.

How is quality assessed?

Quality criteria are defined for the task. Depending on the project, review may focus on class consistency, boundary rules, temporal continuity, or adherence to an evaluation rubric.

How should we share confidential information?

Keep your initial enquiry high level. NDA requirements and an appropriate transfer method can be discussed before any confidential material is shared.

Do you offer large-scale annotation teams?

Altema is a specialist-led independent business. Capacity and suitability are assessed for each project, with transparent delivery arrangements rather than an assumption of a large in-house workforce.
