What's the actual measurable benefit of centralizing annotation into a shared platform?
Consolidating annotation into shared tooling and workforce coordination compounds benefits across every future ML use case instead of each one paying full setup cost independently — faster training cycles because labeled data moves through fewer handoffs, better ground-truth quality from structured escalation and agreement scoring, and lower marginal cost for each new project since the tooling and workforce already exist.

Why Your ML Team's Real Bottleneck Is Annotation, Not Model ChoiceIsolated annotation tooling doesn't scale. A shared platform with tiered human review plus LLM-assisted labeling does — here's the architecture.
