Case study
Human evaluation of LLM output across 14 languages.
A global technology company needed human evaluators across 14 languages to judge a large language model output for accuracy, fluency, bias, and safety, where the work was judgment rather than translation.
14 (European and Indian) - 140 - 1,000+ hours of evaluation
Project overview
What landed, and what made it hard.
A global technology company needed human evaluators across 14 languages to rate large language model outputs for accuracy, fluency, bias, and safety.

Why this mattered
Outcome before process.
The roster combined European languages with five Indian languages, so evaluators needed both linguistic expertise and the domain understanding to catch what automated checks miss.
The problem to solve
Why the work was difficult, and what MoniSa changed in-flight.
The work was judgment, not translation: evaluators had to catch cultural context issues, factual errors, and safety concerns that an automated system would pass over.
The challenge
The problem to solve
Holding a consistent standard across 14 languages and 140 evaluators meant calibration had to come before production, not after the ratings drifted.
Operating response
What MoniSa changed
MoniSa calibrated every evaluator before production, then ran a multidimensional rating framework across all 14 languages with continuous quality monitoring.
- Calibrate first Each evaluator was calibrated against the standard before entering production rating.
- Multidimensional framework Ratings covered factual accuracy, fluency, bias, and safety rather than a single score.
- Continuous monitoring Quality was watched across all 14 languages so the standard held as volume grew.
Results
Measured outcomes from this engagement.
The company received 1,000+ hours of evaluation data across 14 languages at a reviewed acceptance rate, with each evaluator calibrated before production.
| Languages | 14 (European and Indian) |
|---|---|
| Evaluators | 140 |
| Volume | 1,000+ hours of evaluation |
| Acceptance | 90% |
Selection logic
What protected the result.
The selection came down to whether MoniSa could source and review the work at standard, and whether that would hold across the full run.
Why the fit was real
Why the fit was real
Multidimensional evaluation across 14 languages needs calibrated human judgment, beyond bilingual reviewers.
What decided the result
What decided the result
Calibrating evaluators before production is what kept the standard consistent across 140 people and 14 languages.
What buyers can reuse
What buyers can reuse
- LLM evaluation is judgment work: the value is in catching what automated checks pass over.
- Calibration before production kept 140 evaluators consistent across 14 languages.
- The evidence keeps the client details confidential and attributes the metrics only to this engagement.

Cross-lingual similarity evaluation
The challenge. A global AI research lab needed similarity evaluation for Santali and Oriya paired with Hindi, where trained evaluators are scarce.
What we did. MoniSa deployed validated native linguists, shared feedback before production, and resolved QA the same day.
The result. 5,000+ prompts evaluated across two rare pairs, accepted through the agreed review path.
Visual search image data
Problem. A computer-vision team needed shelf and storefront imagery with enough real-world variance to train models that generalize.
Action. MoniSa collected across multiple locations, captured lighting and configuration variance deliberately, and organized by category on delivery.
Result. 10,000 supermarket and 5,000 storefront images, structured for direct pipeline ingestion.
Voice data, 500 hours
Problem. A client needed ~500 hours of US English voice data with diversity and privacy requirements, inside a fixed budget.
Action. MoniSa collected inside the client's own app environment with privacy controls, two-layer QC, and terms that protected speaker diversity.
Result. ~500 hours at reviewed quality satisfaction, extended by the client into follow-on rare-language engagements.

The answers most briefs open by asking for.
Buyers rarely start with who we are. They start with a list of fields to fill. Here are ours, so the first email can be about the work instead.
- Languages and locales
- 300+ languages and 4,500+ dialects, quoted per locale rather than per language — because the dialect decides whether a dataset is usable, whether a market accepts a release, and which specialist the work goes to.
- Specialist network
- 110,000+ verified language specialists — linguists, annotators, and reviewers — plus voice talent and subtitlers, matched to the language, domain and task before assignment.
- Capacity and mobilisation
- Named availability confirmed per pair before scoping. Coverage is reported as staffed today or needing a recruitment window, in writing, before a launch date or release window is agreed.
- Sourcing constraints
- Specialists can be sourced against geographic, residency, locale and demographic requirements — including native-only, in-country, and speaker-diversity quotas where a data programme demands them.
- Deliverables and specs
- Work is delivered to the receiving specification: structured formats and schemas for data and annotation work, and timed-text, audio and platform conformance for media — subtitle reading speed, line limits, cue timing, channel and sample-rate requirements included.
- Comparable work
- 62 documented case studies stating the scope, the constraint that made it difficult, and the measured result — across AI data programmes, partner overflow, and media releases. 2,000+ AI projects delivered and 1,000+ brands served since 2015.
- Certifications
- ISO 9001:2015 quality management, ISO 27001:2022 information security, and ISO 17100 translation services — scoped to translation specifically, and stated that way rather than implied across every line.
- Commercial basis
- Quoted in the unit the work is measured in — per word, per audio hour, per approved hour, per finished minute, per batch, per item — with what the unit includes stated alongside it, whether the quote is for you or for a client you quote onward.
Need this against your own template? Convert your scope between units and check the deadline, then send the brief with your language list, content type, volume and deadline, and the acceptance criteria you will judge the output against — those four decide feasibility, and the reply addresses them directly.
