Evaluation infrastructure
Version criteria, evidence and findings so teams can act on them.
AI data and evaluation practice / Montreal
Build trustworthy AI and data systems for research-led technology in Montreal.
AI evaluation needs reproducible datasets, criteria and experiment records so promising research can become a system with defensible production behaviour. In Montreal, this connects directly to evaluation and data lineage for AI-enabled systems.
What this practice covers
What AI Data & Evaluation covers
Production AI depends on data workflows and evaluation systems that make quality decisions repeatable, inspectable and useful to engineers.
AI Data & Evaluation priorities in Montreal
Canadian organizations often balance national scale, cross-border dependencies, privacy expectations and teams distributed across several regional technology centres.
Montreal's research, AI, aerospace and creative technology communities produce complex workloads with distinct data and compute needs. Production success depends on repeatable delivery and evidence, not experimentation alone.
AI research, aerospace, video games, visual effects, life sciences and financial services combine deep expertise with demanding production requirements.
AI evaluation needs reproducible datasets, criteria and experiment records so promising research can become a system with defensible production behaviour.
- Data evidence
- Evaluation and data lineage for AI-enabled systems
- Evaluation boundary
- Repeatable compute and delivery environments for specialist teams
- Production decision
- Operational visibility across creative and research workloads
What that gives your team
- Training data with provenance
- Evaluation that can regress
- Feedback loops that improve
Training data pipelines
Prepare and transform text, image, audio and multimodal data for controlled use.
Annotation workflows
Design labeling, review, calibration and adjudication around quality criteria.
LLM and agent evaluation
Create rubrics, datasets and regression workflows for application behavior.
Human feedback
Capture comparisons, demonstrations and preference signals in structured form.
Data quality
Make disagreement, review outcomes and quality thresholds visible.
How it works
How AI data work moves
The workflow connects quality criteria to the people, data and engineering decisions that use the result.
01
Define
Translate the quality question into criteria, rubric and decision boundaries.
02
Build
Create datasets, annotation paths or evaluation runs with traceable versions.
03
Review
Calibrate reviewers, handle disagreement and inspect quality signals.
Engagement models
Choose how we work together
Engagements can be shaped around a bounded modernization goal, an embedded capability gap or a longer operating transition across Canadian stakeholders. For AI Data & Evaluation, the initial scope should stay anchored to evaluation and data lineage for AI-enabled systems.

Questions answered
AI Data & Evaluation questions, answered
A short set of practical questions to clarify the first conversation.
How should research and experimentation workflows shape AI Data & Evaluation work in Montreal?
AI evaluation needs reproducible datasets, criteria and experiment records so promising research can become a system with defensible production behaviour. Scope should begin with the systems, owners and evidence connected to evaluation and data lineage for AI-enabled systems.
Is this model training or data engineering?
The category focuses on the data, feedback and evaluation infrastructure around AI systems; model training is only in scope where it is part of that evidenced workflow.
Can you evaluate an existing LLM or agent?
The existing LLM and Agent Evaluation Systems service supports application-specific criteria, datasets, regression runs and actionable findings.
How do you handle reviewer disagreement?
Calibration, review and adjudication are explicit workflow concerns rather than hidden quality assumptions.
Is AI Data On-Call Support available?
No. The model is drafted for architectural completeness but remains nonpublic and nonroutable.
