01

Client context

A global consumer brand had launched an AI-powered assistant in 18 markets, but internal red-flag reports showed the model producing culturally awkward, occasionally offensive, or region-inappropriate output — issues invisible to their English-first eval pipeline and to standard back-translation checks.

Challenge

Stand up native, near-native, and dialect-competent evaluators across 18 languages within four weeks, capable of judging AI output for linguistic accuracy AND cultural fit — not just surface translation quality — with structured rubrics the client's ML team could ingest as regression tests.
