Onboarding Guide

Your Journey to the Live Queue.

We provide ground-truth data for the world's most advanced AI models. Because our clients demand perfection, our onboarding process is rigorous. Here is exactly what to expect.

1

Find & Apply

Head over to our Opportunities board. Filter the tasks by your exact geographic location. Submitting an application for a region you do not currently reside in will result in an automatic rejection. Click "Apply via Google Forms" to submit your initial profile.

2

Dashboard Access & Training

If your profile aligns with our current data needs, you will receive an email with credentials to access your OceanSourceAI Dashboard. Inside, you will find comprehensive training modules, video guides, and the exact grading rubrics our QA team uses.

3

The Paid Assessment

You cannot access the live task queue immediately. First, you must complete 5 specific assessment tasks based on your training. We respect the time it takes to learn our systems, so these initial 5 tasks are paid at the standard hourly rate.

4

Quality Verification (80% Req.)

Our human QA specialists will manually review your 5 assessment tasks. You must achieve a minimum accuracy score of 80% to pass. If you fail to meet this threshold, your dashboard access will be locked and you will have to re-apply in the future.

5

Task & Manage Earnings

Congratulations! Passing the assessment permanently unlocks your account. You can now pull tasks from the live queue at your own pace, track your logged hours, and attach your crypto wallet, PayPal, or Airtm account for weekly Tuesday payouts.

Rules of Engagement

Read these carefully before applying. We have a zero-tolerance policy for data manipulation.

No Generative AI

Do not use ChatGPT, Claude, or any other LLM to write, edit, or assist with your tasks. We use advanced stylometric detection. Using AI defeats the purpose of human-annotated data and results in an instant ban without pay.

Strict Geolocation

Our clients require region-specific cultural contexts. You must physically be in the location you apply for. Using a VPN or proxy to spoof a US or UK location will trigger our security filters and result in account termination.

Quality Over Speed

You are paid by the hour, not by the task. Do not rush. Take your time to thoroughly research facts, perfect your grammar, and adhere strictly to the project guidelines. High-quality annotators are frequently promoted to QA roles.
