Quality & evidence
Checking task relevance and recorded judgments — Sell Data to AI Lab
ANSWER IN BRIEF
Assess whether records and judgments support the intended AI task, while documenting uncertainty, missing context and the difference between operational outcomes and verified answers.
Define what correct means for the task
Ask the recipient and a person familiar with the workflow what a useful example must contain. An operationally completed case is not automatically a correct answer for every AI task. Record the criterion being applied and who is qualified to interpret ambiguous cases in that context.
Review context and consistency
Check whether a reviewer can understand the input, relevant background and outcome without unexplained internal knowledge. Look for changed field definitions, missing attachments and inconsistent judgments across teams or periods. Distinguish source limitations from errors introduced by extraction or by later labeling and summarization.
Preserve disagreement and uncertainty
Where experts disagree or the outcome is not definitive, record that status rather than forcing every example into a confident label. Ask whether uncertain or failed cases are useful for the proposed task. Keep exclusions and corrections traceable so a cleaner-looking package does not hide changes to its meaning.
Report evidence within its scope
State how the sample was selected and which checks were performed. Avoid claiming that a limited review establishes whole-dataset quality or a model performance gain. Agree which findings affect acceptance and which require further evaluation before preparing the full collection or making a commercial commitment.
Questions & answers
Can a resolved support case be treated as a verified answer?
Not automatically. Examine the recorded evidence and define what correctness means for the intended task.
