Prepare structured training and evaluation data against a defined taxonomy.
AI evaluation
Evaluate model behavior with calibrated reviewers and explicit rubrics.
Human-in-the-loop
Put trained human judgment inside the workflow where automation needs review.
Verification
Check facts, sources, outputs, and exceptions before the next decision point.
Research & operations
Run recurring research and structured operational work with managed delivery.
Who we help
Built for teams that need
reliable human judgment.
The strongest fit is a defined AI or data workflow—or a clearly scoped capacity need—with visible roles, standards, and ownership.
AI product companies
Add managed evaluation, annotation, verification, and review around model behavior.
Companies using AI
Keep accountable human control around AI-assisted decisions and recurring exceptions.
AI & data teams
Extend internal capacity through managed delivery or dedicated staff augmentation, without relying on a loose network of contributors.
Staff augmentation
Skilled capacity, embedded into your team.
When you already own the workflow, ADCO can provide dedicated professionals who work inside your tools, priorities, and day-to-day direction across AI, data, research, and operations roles.

Proof, not promises
Every pilot is designed
to produce evidence.
Instead of publishing unsupported numbers, ADCO defines the result measures with each client and reports them against the agreed pilot scope.
Case-study record
The problem, pilot design, operating decisions, and verified outcome—published when client approval permits.
Accuracy & QA results
Accuracy or QA acceptance percentages, reviewer agreement, corrections, and exception patterns measured against the agreed criteria.
Delivery results
Turnaround time and the number of tasks or records completed within the defined scope.
Client validation
Named testimonials and client logos only with permission. ADCO does not use invented metrics or anonymous praise.
Trust & Security
Enterprise confidence begins with operating control.
ADCO designs its operations around data protection, controlled access, workforce security, quality management, and client-specific security requirements.
