At a glance.
Summary
Building a Scalable Model for AI Innovation As the company expanded its generative AI tools, the internal team faced an immediate challenge: evaluating thousands of images for quality and bias using a process that relied on manual oversight and repeated contract renewals. Each delay slowed development and reduced visibility into model performance.
Challenges we tackled
Contract Management
Manual contract management slowed project momentum
Scalable Quality Requirements
High-volume image evaluation required consistency and quality at scale
Data Integrity Risks
Risk of bias and uneven classification across datasets
How our solution helped
Lifted partnered with the client to assemble a dedicated bench of image evaluation experts aligned to the project’s quality and fairness standards. These specialists handled categorization, tagging, and quality review at scale, supporting rapid iteration and improved dataset integrity.
Image Evaluation & Categorization
Applied consistent criteria for quality assurance.
Prompt Tagging
Labeled and mapped key elements within each image to refine AI training data.
Image Curation
Grouped related assets for faster review and easier dataset management.
What we achieved
Reduced 150+ contracts to a single streamlined engagement model with a dedicated group of individuals
Scaled teams on demand with no onboarding delays
Maintained consistently high image-quality standards
