How do I know which dataset type is right for my model?
We start every engagement with a technical conversation with your ML team. We look at your model architecture, your current training data, your evaluation metrics, and where performance is falling short. From there we identify which data properties — diversity, domain coverage, annotation quality, class balance — are most likely to move your specific metrics. In many cases teams come in thinking they need more data, and what they actually need is different data. We help identify which.
Do you work with teams that are early in their AI development?
Yes. We work with teams at every stage — from pre-seed startups building their first model to frontier labs with established training pipelines. For earlier-stage teams, we often recommend starting with a focused, high-quality dataset for a specific capability rather than a broad dataset. Getting your model to work well on a narrow, well-defined task first is more efficient than training broadly on poor data from the start.
