Recognized expertise across every data need of modern AI teams.

LLM Training Computer Vision Speech AI Trust & Safety

A team trained for rigor, not an anonymous crowd.

While crowdsourcing platforms distribute your data among thousands of anonymous workers, we operate with a stable, identified and professional team — the only way to guarantee quality, confidentiality and consistency.

i

Permanent, stable annotators

No anonymous crowdsourcing. Every annotator is part of our permanent team, identifiable, NDA-signed and committed for the long term. Your data is handled by professionals you know.

ii

Continuous training & certification

Every annotator completes our training program on industry-leading tools (Label Studio, CVAT, Labelbox, V7) and passes an internal certification per specialty before being assigned to your projects.

iii

Graduate-level, natively bilingual

Our team consists of graduates in science, humanities, law and computer science — all fully bilingual in French and English. A rare advantage for multilingual datasets.

iv

Vertical specializations

For sensitive projects (legal, medical, financial), we mobilize annotators with verified domain expertise. Precision, correct terminology and contextual understanding guaranteed.

Native bilingual · rare multilingual datasets

Vertical expertise, for every industry.

We adapt our teams and methods to your sector — because a medical, financial or legal dataset doesn't demand the same skills as a product catalog.

AI Labs

RLHF datasets, instruction tuning, model evaluation. Unique French-speaking specialization for multilingual models.

Health & MedTech

Medical imaging annotation, patient record structuring, datasets for AI-assisted diagnosis.

Finance & Insurance

Fraud detection, KYC, document extraction, transaction classification. Enhanced confidentiality.

Legal & Compliance

Legal annotation, clause extraction, contract analysis. Annotators trained in civil law and common law.

Mobility & Autonomous

Road scene annotation, lane segmentation, obstacle detection for autonomous driving and ADAS.

Retail & E-commerce

Product categorization, attribute extraction, catalog moderation, intelligent visual search.

We believe the value of an annotation partner rests on two demands: the economic fairness of the commercial model, and the methodological rigor of the execution.

These are our two founding commitments to each of our clients.

i First commitment

A frictionless commercial approach.

Working with Cogite requires neither lengthy negotiation nor a complex sales cycle. The relationship is built on clarity, from the very first exchange.

Transparency

A scoped, readable proposal — no hidden costs, no platform surcharges, no fine print.

Free pilot

A sample annotated before any commitment, so you can validate the methodology with us.

Flexibility

Volumes adapted to your actual reality, with no minimum threshold and no subscription.

Responsiveness

A scoped response within 24 business hours. No sales tunnel, no waiting room.

ii Second commitment

Quality that holds, not just promised.

A dataset's quality is not declared, it is measured. Our methodology is built to make that measurement systematic, transparent, and reproducible.

Double annotation

Every item passes through the hands of two independent annotators, arbitrated by a senior.

Stable team

A permanent, trained and identified team — never an anonymous crowd of occasional workers.

Reporting

Detailed metrics every week: IoU, kappa, precision and recall. You steer with full visibility.

Revisions

If part of the delivery does not meet your standards, we redo it. A commitment, not a courtesy.

A guarantee of excellence on every delivery.

We don't just promise quality — we measure it, document it and guarantee it contractually to every one of our clients.
