The modality is paired
Video with synchronized transcript. Audio with speaker metadata. Image with structured captions. Off-the-shelf single-modality data stops where your model begins.
Tell us the brief. We [scope] it.
If your model needs data that does not live in any catalog, custom collection is the path. Same methodology as every dataset we deliver. Different brief.
A catalog dataset covers most use cases. When it does not, the pattern is usually one of four.
The domain is specialized
Clinical, legal, financial, scientific, industrial. Terminology, consent, and privacy handled by people with the credentials to handle them.
The distribution is specific
A particular accent, demographic, language variety, or geography. You need control, not coverage averages.
The use case is new
Agentic workflows, voice cloning corpora, RLHF preference sets, novel multimodal pairings. The data simply does not exist yet.
Custom is not bespoke outsourcing. It is the same system applied to a project scoped for your specific need.
- Same contributors
- Identity-verified, skill-matched, consent-signed. The network does not change because your brief is different.
- Same methodology
- The Human Standard applies in full. Source, capture, verify, deliver. Every file clears every layer.
- Same quality bar
- Peer review, centralized QC, agreement tracking. Your pilot goes through the same gates as a thousand-hour delivery.
- Same delivery
- Dataset card with full provenance. Per-file metadata. Rights scope locked before capture. No surprises at handoff.
What changes is the brief. Not the method.
How a custom project runs
Scope
Share the brief: modality, language, domain, volume, timeline, rights. We return a scoped plan covering contributor profile, capture spec, pricing, and rights framework within 48 hours of the first call.
Kickoff
You approve the scope. Consent forms generate with your project ID embedded. Contributor sourcing and pipeline setup begin. First files typically arrive in the second week.
Production
Early batches land in a review folder for you. Approve, flag, or adjust scope while the pipeline keeps running. Iteration is part of the work, not a delay.
Delivery
Final dataset ships with its card. Provenance, consent versions, QC metrics, rights scope. Ready for your compliance team before it reaches your model team.
A sample of projects currently scoped or in production.
- Domain-specific voice corpora for ASR, TTS, or voice cloning in a regulated field
- Paired multimodal data for instruction-following models (video + transcript + speaker)
- Egocentric video with synchronized audio narration for robotics and physical AI
- RLHF preference sets with expert raters in medicine, law, or code
- Long-form scripted dialogue for conversational systems in healthcare and finance
- Accented speech corpora with fine-grained dialect labeling for production ASR
Something adjacent? That is a conversation.
