Human data · Expert network

Frontier models are built on expert judgment.

S46 connects AI labs and applied teams with a trained bench of model-training specialists for evaluations, RLHF, fine-tuning data, and red-teaming. No marketplace noise. Just people who have done the work.

Trained on production data pipelines Curated: every expert known to us Fast: scoped teams in days
What we do

Specialist teams for every stage of the post-training stack.

We field small, senior teams that plug directly into your workflows and tooling. Every project is scoped up front and managed end to end.

01

Model evaluations

Human evals designed and run by calibrated raters: rubric development, side-by-side comparisons, capability and safety assessments, and error analysis your researchers can act on.

02

RLHF & preference data

High-agreement preference rankings and reward-model data from experts trained in comparative judgment, not crowdworkers guessing at a rubric.

03

SFT & instruction data

Gold-standard demonstrations, expert-written completions, and domain-specific corpora for supervised fine-tuning. Everything is reviewed and QA'd before it reaches your pipeline.

04

Red-teaming & adversarial testing

Structured probing for failure modes: jailbreaks, edge cases, domain-specific harms, and the long tail of behaviors automated testing misses.

Why S46

A bench, not a marketplace.

Marketplaces optimize for volume. We optimize for the quality of the fiftieth hour of work, when calibration and consistency are what actually move your metrics.

/01

Trained, not just credentialed

Every expert on the bench completes hands-on training before touching a client project: annotation tooling, rubric calibration, model comparison, and quality review.

/02

Curated and quality-dense

We know every person we place. The bench stays deliberately small, so agreement rates stay high and you never wonder who is behind the labels.

/03

Managed end to end

S46 handles staffing, calibration, QA, and throughput reporting. You get a single point of contact and data you can trust, not a dashboard of freelancers to manage.

/04

Fast to deploy

Because the bench is trained in advance, we can scope a project and field a team in days, then scale up or wind down as your roadmap shifts.

Selected work

Recent engagements in finance and accounting.

A sample of recent projects. Details are anonymized to protect client confidentiality.

Model evaluation

Financial reasoning evals for a frontier model

Designed and ran a human evaluation suite covering valuation, three-statement modeling, and market analysis. Calibrated experts graded outputs side by side and produced an error taxonomy that fed directly into the next training cycle.

SFT data

Gold-standard accounting datasets

Built a supervised fine-tuning corpus of expert-written walkthroughs across revenue recognition, consolidations, and multi-jurisdiction tax treatments. Every item was drafted and reviewed by credentialed accounting professionals.

Red-teaming

Stress-testing an AI finance assistant

Probed a production finance assistant for hallucinated figures, unsupported investment claims, and GAAP/IFRS misstatements. Delivered a prioritized failure-mode report with reproducible prompts for the engineering team.

The network

Deep expertise across the domains that matter.

Our specialists come from research, industry, and professional practice. They are selected for judgment, then trained for data work.
