Case study
Trust and safety review across six languages, on a 24-hour clock.
A global video platform needed trust-and-safety review across six languages with a strict 24-hour turnaround, where a missed harmful item is worse than a missed deadline.

Project overview
What landed, and what made it hard.
A global video platform needed trust-and-safety evaluation and translation across six languages, a mix of high-resource languages and low-resource Indian languages, on a weekly cadence with 24-hour turnaround.

Why this mattered
Outcome before process.
Trust and safety is asymmetric work: a missed harmful item carries far more cost than a slow batch, so quality and turnaround both have to hold.
The problem to solve
Why the work was difficult, and what MoniSa changed in-flight.
Safety review across a high- and low-resource language mix fails when reviewers cannot read cultural context, or when the 24-hour clock forces shortcuts on the hardest items.
The challenge
The problem to solve
The platform needed consistent daily coverage per language with quality high enough to trust on sensitive content.
Operating response
What MoniSa changed
MoniSa committed dedicated daily hours per language and ran a consistent review path, absorbing a mid-engagement language addition without breaking cadence.
- Daily coverage Dedicated hours per language each day kept the weekly cadence and 24-hour turnaround intact.
- Context-aware review Native reviewers judged cultural context that automated filters miss in each language.
- Elastic scope A sixth language was added mid-engagement without disrupting the existing five.
Results
Measured outcomes from this engagement.
The platform received 250+ hours of trust-and-safety review across six languages on this engagement, holding both the weekly cadence and the 24-hour turnaround.
| Volume | 250+ hours |
|---|---|
| Languages | Six (high- and low-resource) |
| Quality | Independently reviewed |
| Cadence | Weekly, 24-hour turnaround |
| Status | Ongoing |
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
Safety review needs native context and reliable daily coverage, not a bench that treats it like generic translation.
What decided the result
What decided the result
Quality and turnaround had to hold together: a fast batch that misses harmful content is a failure.
What buyers can reuse
What buyers can reuse
- Trust and safety review is asymmetric: a missed harmful item costs more than a slow batch, so quality cannot trade against turnaround.
- Consistent daily coverage per language is what keeps a 24-hour cadence honest across a high- and low-resource mix.
- The evidence keeps the client details confidential and attributes the metrics only to this engagement.

Media and metadataThree-year streaming subtitling and QC held to one bar, client details confidential.
Streaming subtitling and QC
The challenge. A streaming platform needed continuous Tamil and Hindi subtitling and QC across a growing catalog.
What we did. MoniSa ran subtitling and a separate QC lane white-label with reviewer continuity and a fixed bar.
The result. The platform received 3,100+ minutes subtitled and 2,000+ episodes QC over three years.
AI evaluationFifty languages evaluated in a compressed sprint at project-scoped quality review, client details confidential.
LLM fine-tuning evaluation
Problem. A model team needed 20,000 prompts evaluated across 50 languages under a compressed decision window for a fine-tuning decision.
Action. MoniSa sourced five pre-calibrated evaluators per language across all 50 tracks in parallel.
Result. The team received ~20,000 evaluations across 50 languages during the compressed sprint at project-scoped quality review.
Translation and LSP supportA quarter-million words of legal Khmer, terminology held exact, client details confidential.
Legal translation into Khmer
Problem. A global marketplace needed 250,000 words of legal content translated into Khmer for market entry.
Action. MoniSa sourced legal-literate Khmer linguists with a separate review pass and terminology control.
Result. The marketplace received 250,000 words of legal Khmer translation and review.

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.
