01Summary

You are building a model that detects products on retail shelves. You need images labeled with bounding boxes and product categories, with a target accuracy of 98% and a two-stage review.

We propose a paid pilot of 1,000 images to calibrate guidelines and quality targets, followed by production at volume once you approve the pilot results.

NDA before data is shared. Access limited to the project team.

Quantifiability

Weekly reports on throughput, accuracy, and error types.

Accuracy figures are targets we set for the project, not guarantees.
