ANNOTATION ACROSS EVERY MODALITY
High-fidelity training data across every modality,governed in the EEA
Image, video, text, audio, LiDAR, and sensor-fusion annotation: 100% human QA, measured by the metrics your ML team already uses, documented to EU AI Act Article 10.
- EU AI Act Article 10
- GDPR-native
- EEA jurisdiction (Norway AS)

ANNOTATION OR COLLECTION
Already have the data? Annotate it. Missing the data? We collect it.
Annotation labels and enriches data you already hold. Collection sources data that does not yet exist. The distinction drives scoping, vendor choice, and Article 10 representativeness.
Raw asset
Labeled asset
- class
- vehicle
- attributes
- occluded, truncated
- provenance
- per-item logged
You have the data
We label it to production accuracy across modality, with provenance per item. This is the annotation hub.
You are missing the data
We scope and collect the missing segments, languages, or edge cases, then feed them into the same annotation pipeline.
Scope a data collectionAnnotation logs reveal the collection gaps, so the two route into each other.
START FROM YOUR PROBLEM
We route you to the modality and the metric that proves it
Perception for autonomous systems leans on image, video, LiDAR, and fusion. Conversational AI leans on text and audio. Start from your problem; each route opens its service page.
- Image annotation mAP, IoU
- Video annotation MOTA, IDF1, HOTA
- Semantic segmentation mIoU, PQ
- Text annotation token F1, kappa
- Audio and speech WER, DER
- LiDAR and sensor fusion 3D IoU, cross-sensor consistency

BUILT FOR THE HARD CASES
The failure modes your data will hit, handled by design
Cheap labeling collapses on the hard 20 percent: occlusion, low light, crowds, mixed scripts. These are the failure modes our annotation guidelines and QA are built to hold.
-
Occlusion
Pedestrians behind parked vehicles, boxes held through partial visibility
-
Low light
Night street scene, masks segmented under glare and shadow
-
Crowd density
Dense pedestrian crossing, instance IDs kept distinct
-
Mixed scripts
Multilingual signage, entity spans across scripts
Schematic previews. Production work runs against your raw data under your engagement DPA.
ONE PLATFORM, EVERY MODALITY
One platform, every modality, every label versioned and traceable
One unified platform across all six modalities, not loosely-glued tools. The human stays accountable; the model assists.
- Versioned label schemas Every schema and guideline version preserved for audit and reproducibility.
- Configurable QA routing Sampling and multi-pass review routed by risk, with adjudication on disagreement.
- Audit trails and access control SSO, RBAC, and per-item audit logs for every label and review action.
- EEA residency and segregation EEA data residency, per-project data segregation, no reuse of your data for internal models.
QUALITY YOU CAN AUDIT
Quality you can audit: kappa-gated annotators, gold-set benchmarking, error taxonomy
Inter-annotator agreement is measured with Cohen's and Fleiss' kappa, interpreted on the Landis-Koch bands. Annotators are kappa-gated on a gold set before production, sampling routes QA by risk, and every error is classified by type and severity.
Illustrative of method. The Landis-Koch bands are the standard interpretation; the curve shows the kappa-gated onboarding arc, not a published per-project figure.
Kappa-gated onboarding: annotators clear a gold-set threshold before they touch production data.
Error taxonomy
Every defect is classified by type (boundary, class, attribute, miss) and severity (critical, major, minor) and fed back into guideline refinement.
| Error type | Critical | Major | Minor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boundary | rare | low | tracked |
| Class | rare | low | tracked |
| Attribute | rare | low | tracked |
| Miss | rare | low | tracked |
Confusion matrix
Per-class agreement with diagonal dominance shows where classes are confused and where the guideline needs tightening.
100% human QA on every label, with a 90% usable rate target, not a self-serve marketplace burden pushed onto your team.
ARTICLE 10, SATISFIED AT THE LABEL
EU AI Act Article 10, satisfied at the label. GDPR-native by design.
Article 10 obligations cascade to the annotation partner. Each clause maps to a concrete deliverable you can hand your conformity assessor.
| Regulator | Control | Evidence | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Article 10 representativeness | Ontology and sampling design | Demographic and segment distribution report | Mapped |
| Article 10 error-freeness | Kappa-gated QA and gold sets | Per-class agreement and defect report | Mapped |
| Article 10 bias examination | Label-level bias audit | Bias-examination notes per dataset | Mapped |
| Article 10 provenance | Per-item provenance logging | Dataset datasheet and provenance log | Mapped |
| GDPR Articles 9 and 25 | Lawful basis, minimization, data protection by design | Signed DPA, 30-day erasure SLA, sub-processor list | Mapped |
DPA always included. EEA processing reduces transfer risk. Compliance is evidenced through EEA jurisdiction, named regulations, and audit-ready documentation, not third-party certification badges.
SCALE ON PROOF, NOT PROMISES
Start with a measured pilot. Scale on proof, not promises.
Engagement is a staged process with a named exit gate. You see the quality before you commit to scale.
- 01
Scope
Objectives, modalities, taxonomies, quality targets, risk level, and DPA defined with your team.
- 02
Pilot
A measured pilot with iterative guideline refinement and transparent reporting against the agreed metrics.
- 03
Production
Scale only after the exit gate: metric targets met and a stable, repeatable process, with SLAs on throughput and defect ceilings.
- 04
Monitor
Continuous QA monitoring, relabeling campaigns, and an annotation-to-model feedback loop.
SCOPE YOUR PILOT
We scope the modalities, taxonomies, and quality targets your deployment needs. If YPAI is not the right fit, we will say so directly. A managed European partner complements your in-house team and absorbs the QA, PM, and compliance overhead a marketplace pushes back onto you.
