What it is

AI response evaluation, explained

Automated metrics can't tell you whether an answer is actually helpful, correct, safe or on-brand. Human evaluation can. TestLancer reviewers score model outputs, compare responses side by side, flag harmful or incorrect content and write better reference answers, giving you data to improve prompts, fine-tune models or decide whether a release is ready.

For general assistants, trained generalists work well. For legal, medical or technical content, tell us and we'll discuss whether suitable specialist reviewers are available.

Can you evaluate in languages other than English?

Yes, where we have native-speaker members. Tell us the languages you need.

Is this the same as RLHF?

Preference ranking and rated responses are the human data used in RLHF and similar methods. We supply the human judgements; your team trains the model.

How do you keep ratings consistent?

Calibration rounds, gold examples and agreement checks before and during the project.
