From RAG to context engineering: the training and eval data behind modern LLM apps
July 202610 min read

The industry is moving from classic retrieval-augmented generation to context engineering and agentic memory. Underneath that shift sits a mountain of labeled data — reranking judgments, tool-call traces, preference pairs, and red-team sets. Here's what that data work actually looks like.

Measuring annotation quality: IoU, consensus, and multi-pass QA
July 20269 min read

"Looks good" is not a quality metric. Here is how to actually measure annotation quality — IoU, kappa, consensus, and multi-pass QA — and when to reach for each.

In-house vs crowdsourced annotation: what changes for quality
July 20269 min read

Crowd platforms scale fast and cost little; in-house teams trade raw scale for consistency, domain knowledge and tighter feedback loops. Here's how each model changes label quality — and when to reach for which.
