How much do your financial data annotation services cost?
Our pricing is fully transparent and customized based on the complexity of your financial datasets. For complex reasoning, our LLM Math/Coding experts are billed at $18/hr, while STEM Generalists and business experts are available at $12/hr. If you require document processing, Image Editing is $8/hr. We also offer platform credits on Abaka Forge at $0.20 USD each, ensuring you receive scholar-grade financial labeling at highly competitive rates.
What is the typical turnaround time for financial datasets?
We prioritize high-velocity delivery without sacrificing accuracy. Depending on the volume and complexity of the financial documents, initial pilot results are typically delivered within 1-3 days. For ongoing enterprise engagements, we process up to 500 files a day per annotator, frequently reducing overall preprocessing time by up to 70% and ensuring you receive consistent, weekly data deliveries.
What modalities and formats can you annotate for finance?
We cover all necessary modalities for financial AI, including text, image, video, audio, and complex RLHF environments. Using the Abaka Forge platform, we can annotate unstructured SEC filings, earnings call audio, and complex financial tables. We deliver fully structured outputs tailored to your pipeline, including JSON, CSV, JSONL, Parquet, and XML formats.
How do you ensure accuracy in complex financial labeling?
We achieve 99% accuracy by deploying scholar-network annotators with specialized backgrounds in business, mathematics, and law—never unqualified generalists. Furthermore, we implement a rigorous 6-dimensional evaluation framework and multi-layer QA processes, utilizing model-as-a-judge techniques and senior human reviewers to validate every financial entity and sentiment score.
Is my proprietary financial data secure with Abaka AI?
Absolutely. Security is central to our financial data annotation services. We hold SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications, strictly adhering to GDPR and CCPA regulations. All financial data flows through highly secure, segregated pipelines under strict NDAs. We never repurpose, resell, or share your proprietary data, maintaining complete confidentiality at all times.
Do you support multilingual financial documents?
Yes, we offer extensive multilingual support for global financial institutions. Our workforce consists of over 1 million vertically specialized annotators located across 50+ countries. This global presence allows us to expertly process, transcribe, and annotate international financial documents, localized tax records, and cross-border transactions in dozens of different languages.
How does Abaka AI differ from other crowdsourced labeling platforms?
Unlike traditional platforms that rely on unvetted crowdsourcing, Abaka AI is a trustworthy data partner tailored for frontier AI. We are self-funded, profitable, and face no VC pressure to compromise on quality. We utilize dedicated, scholar-grade experts for complex financial tasks, provide full IP provenance with 0% copyright risk, and never build models that compete with our clients.
How do you handle changes to the annotation guidelines?
We maintain an agile and highly communicative workflow. During the initial pilot and weekly syncs, we actively collaborate with your machine learning team. If your financial models require a pivot in edge-case handling or new regulatory considerations emerge, we seamlessly update our protocols and immediately retrain our dedicated annotator pods without disrupting your pipeline delivery.
Can we run a pilot before committing to a massive project?
Yes, we highly encourage a pilot phase for complex financial data annotation services. During Day 0–3 of our engagement, we conduct a rapid pilot to test our pipelines, calibrate our domain-expert labelers, and establish a clear quality baseline. This allows your team to confidently assess our 99% accuracy and security standards before scaling.
Who owns the labeled financial data?
You retain 100% ownership of your data. We strictly operate as a trustworthy data partner. Your financial datasets are exclusively yours—we guarantee complete IP provenance with 0% copyright risk. We never retain, resell, or use your annotated financial data to train competing foundational models.
Do we have to use your annotation tools?
While we highly recommend the Abaka Forge platform—our all-in-one suite that accelerates collection, cleaning, and annotation by up to 50x using large-model automation—we are completely flexible. Our expert annotators can seamlessly integrate into your internal, proprietary labeling tools or third-party platforms via our secure infrastructure.
Is there a minimum project size for financial data annotation?
We offer elastic scalability to accommodate diverse project sizes. Whether you need an ongoing long-term team of dedicated financial experts or a specialized, project-based engagement for a targeted dataset, we tailor our resources to your needs. This flexibility ensures you can access scholar-grade annotation regardless of your immediate scale.
