Human-validated training data and evaluation services for frontier AI models
Chain-of-thought reasoning traces, SME-level RLHF, supervised fine-tuning demonstrations and adversarial red teaming for the most capable models.
Golden trajectories, RL environment design, failure-mode taxonomies and software-engineering-driven deep evaluation for autonomous agents.
Multilingual ASR and conversational speech data, expressive TTS annotation, vision-language model training data, video action labelling and voice-agent evaluation.
LiDAR point-cloud labeling, multi-camera sensor fusion, robot demonstration trajectories, world-model rollouts and embodied interaction logs.
Privacy-first bot detection and fraud prevention for the web
Multi-layered detection delivers risk scores and near-zero false positives, with passive and no-CAPTCHA modes.
Stop transaction fraud, account takeovers and multi-accounting with privacy-preserving signals and no PII.
A stronger, toll-free alternative to SMS MFA that reduces fraud while simplifying the user experience.
Build custom risk models with adaptive learning and enrich your own ML using blinded, compliant signals.
