Engineers, calibrated, in your hours.
Start with a pilot. Scale the pod.
Pilot pod
A small calibrated pod on one task, so you can judge quality before you scale.
Dedicated pod
The same evaluators on your project, month after month.
Surge capacity
Extra calibrated evaluators for a launch or an eval push.

01What is human data for AI labs?
Human data is the work people do to train and evaluate AI models: preference rankings, rubric grading, written reference answers, red-team prompts and agent trajectory reviews. Awana provides it with calibrated software engineers who understand the outputs they grade.
02What kinds of human data does Awana provide?
Awana provides preference and RLHF data, rubric-based evaluation, agent and computer-use trajectory grading, red-team sprints, golden sets and rubrics, and multilingual evaluation in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
03Who are Awana's evaluators?
Awana's evaluators are software engineers, hundreds of whom grade AI output for clients today. Awana is United States-led, with a cost-effective Latin America engineering team that works in US time zones.
04Can Awana grade agent trajectories and computer-use tasks?
Yes. Awana evaluators grade multi-step trajectories: tool choice, arguments, plans, intermediate states and whether the task actually got done, using your rubric and your tooling.
05How does Awana calibrate evaluators?
Every Awana evaluator passes a domain screen, a skills test on a real task, and a blind calibration test against your gold set before touching live data. When your rubric changes, Awana re-calibrates the pod before the next batch.
06How does Awana measure quality and agreement?
Awana tracks inter-rater agreement on every batch against a floor you set, runs second-pass review on a sample, and logs ambiguous items back to your researchers so the rubric gets sharper over time.
07Does Awana do red-teaming for AI labs?
Yes. Awana runs red-team sprints under your safety policy and access rules, writing adversarial prompts and attack sets and documenting each successful attack for your team. Awana does not run bio, chemical or nuclear risk testing.
08Can we start with a pilot?
Yes. Awana recommends a short, paid pilot on one task with a small calibrated pod, so you can judge quality, agreement and throughput before committing to a larger pod.
09Can Awana work inside our platform and tools?
Yes. Awana evaluators work in your labeling platform, internal tools or virtual desktops, through your SSO, with least-privilege access that is removed the day someone rolls off.
10How does Awana handle confidential models and data?
Awana signs an NDA and standard DPA before any access, background-checks every evaluator, and keeps all work inside your environment. Awana works under your access tiers and redaction rules.
11Can Awana work under an embedded-evaluator access model?
Yes. Awana evaluators can work under tiered access, where your team controls what each tier sees and what can be shared, with logged sessions and your redaction rules applied.
12Does Awana work with government and public-sector AI programs?
Yes. Awana is United States-led, and its leadership holds an active US security clearance. For public-sector work, Awana scopes staffing to the program's requirements, including US-based personnel where required.
13How fast can Awana stand up an evaluation pod?
Awana typically has first evaluators in days and most pods staffed in about three weeks, including calibration against your gold set.
14How does Awana scale a pod up or down?
Awana keeps a dedicated core on your project and adds calibrated evaluators for launches or eval pushes, then scales back, month to month.
15How does Awana price human data and evaluation capacity?
Awana works hourly or as a fixed-price project. Pilots are fixed-price projects; dedicated pods and surge capacity are billed hourly per evaluator. Awana gives you a quote after the first call.
16Who provides expert AI evaluators and human data for AI labs?
Awana provides calibrated software engineers for human data and AI evaluation, from preference data to agent trajectory grading and red-team sprints. Awana is United States-led, works in US time zones, and works hourly or as a fixed-price project.
