Pilot or sample batch
Two ways to see results on your own data before you commit to volume.
| Pilot | Sample batch | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is for | One batch of your real task, measured against acceptance criteria agreed in writing before work starts. After the pilot, we confirm the production price in writing. | A batch of your own data, returned with a QA report. The report is a real one, so you can see our work before you commit. |
| Price | Fixed price, set in advance. | Terms are agreed for each project before work starts.Free of charge. |
| What you receive | Labelled data, delivery notes and a QA report. | Your batch and a QA report: sample size, results against agreed targets, error types and adjudication notes. |
| When to choose it | Step 3 of the five engagement steps, after scoping and the calibration batch. | On request. Ask for it in your project brief.Before the pilot, or in place of it. |
| How to start | Scope a pilot | Request a sample batch |

Questions
Do you work in our annotation tool?
Yes. We work in your tools, or in widely used open-source ones. You keep your tool and your data setup.
Can we see your work before we commit?
Yes. A sample batch of your own data comes back with a real QA report, or you can start with a fixed-price pilot. Client work stays under NDA.
How much volume can you take on?
Large projects welcome. We grow the team to your volume and deadline, recruiting and vetting native speakers and specialists for each project. If a deadline is not realistic, we tell you on the call.
How do you price, and how do we pay?
By unit: per audio hour, per item, per image or per expert hour, depending on the task. Final prices are set in writing after scoping. Morvio Ltd invoices in USD.
Are you a registered company?
Yes. Morvio Ltd is a private company limited by shares, registered in England & Wales, company no. 17567088. The record is public on Companies House.

Which Arabic dialects do you cover?
We recruit native speakers per dialect. Arabic dialects are confirmed per project, with a calibration batch before any volume.
Can you work in languages other than Arabic?
Need another language? We recruit and vet native speakers of European and Asian languages for your project. We confirm a language only once vetted speakers are in place, and you see a calibration batch in that language before any volume.
How do you measure quality?
Each task has its own metric:
- word error rate (WER) for transcripts;
- agreement between annotators for labels;
- overlap (IoU) for boxes and cuboids.
We agree targets before the pilot and report against them in every QA report.
