Bespoke data work, on commission

When an off-the-shelf dataset doesn’t fit, we build one for you. Your sources, your schema, your governance rules — our engineering, your IP. Same provenance discipline as our packaged products.

Four types of commission

Most projects we are asked about fall into one of these shapes. If yours doesn’t, send us the brief anyway — we will tell you honestly whether we are the right team.

A

Bespoke corpus building

A topic-specific or sector-specific training dataset built for your foundation or fine-tuned model. We start from your scope, identify the source landscape, and ship a curated corpus with full provenance.

Typical timeline: 6 – 12 weeks. Fixed-price scoping then phased delivery.

B

Data pipeline engineering

Design or rebuild your extraction, cleaning, deduplication and packaging stack. Bring your sources, we hand back a pipeline you can run yourself — with documentation, tests and SLA.

Typical timeline: 8 – 16 weeks. Code handover & training included.

C

AI Act readiness audits

An assessment of your existing datasets and models against EU AI Act expectations. We document the gaps, retrofit provenance where missing, and produce releaseable dataset cards your governance committee can sign off.

Typical timeline: 4 – 8 weeks. Optional third-party legal certification.

D

Custom labelling & evaluation sets

Specialised evaluation benchmarks for your domain, built through LLM-judged labelling with human validation. Reproducible, versioned, releaseable as an internal or public benchmark.

Typical timeline: 3 – 6 weeks. Output: JSONL benchmark + dataset card.

How a project runs

Four stages, with explicit gates between each. You can stop after stage two if scoping reveals the project isn’t worth it.

01

Brief & intro call

Free 30-minute scoping call. Mutual fit check.

02

Scope & quote

Fixed-price statement of work, deliverables, milestones.

03

Build & gate

Prototype reviewed before scale. Explicit go/no-go.

04

Deliver & handover

Dataset, dataset card, audit trail, refresh plan.

What you get

Your IP, your data

For custom engagements, you own the resulting dataset and pipeline. We do not aggregate, resell or reuse customer data.

Fixed price

Quotation after the scoping stage, with deliverables and milestones written down. No open-ended time-and-materials surprises.

Support window

Three months of post-delivery support included by default. Extended SLA available for production deployments.

Start a conversation

A two-paragraph brief is enough to start. We’ll come back within one business day with a first read on feasibility, timeline and order of magnitude.
