Review designed around the project risk profile
Quality control can be designed as full review, sample-based review or multi-stage review depending on the project budget, risk profile and client specification.
For model-critical datasets, quality checks can be more intensive. For exploratory pilots, the review layer can be calibrated to the project scope.
Flexible formats for AI and data teams
FYI Africa can align dataset delivery to client requirements for audio, video, transcripts, metadata and reporting.
