Evaluation infrastructure
Version criteria, evidence and findings so teams can act on them.
AI data and evaluation practice / Wellington
Build trustworthy AI and data systems for regulated and high-trust systems in Wellington.
AI evaluation should connect dataset lineage, review criteria and model behaviour to the decisions a regulated workflow is allowed to make. In Wellington, this connects directly to secure data handling across institutional boundaries.
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 Wellington
New Zealand organizations often need resilient digital services that serve a geographically distributed market while making efficient use of focused engineering teams.
Wellington's public-sector, finance, research and creative communities depend on systems that communicate decisions clearly. Engineering quality includes accessibility, security, continuity and maintainable ownership.
Government, financial services, research, film and digital media create a distinctive mix of accountability and creative technology.
AI evaluation should connect dataset lineage, review criteria and model behaviour to the decisions a regulated workflow is allowed to make.
- Data evidence
- Accessible and resilient public-facing digital services
- Evaluation boundary
- Secure data handling across institutional boundaries
- Production decision
- Clear delivery evidence for governed change programmes
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
A compact consulting or delivery team can address a defined constraint while transferring decisions and operating knowledge back to New Zealand stakeholders. For AI Data & Evaluation, the initial scope should stay anchored to secure data handling across institutional boundaries.

ExploreQuestions answered
AI Data & Evaluation questions, answered
A short set of practical questions to clarify the first conversation.
How should governance and audit needs shape AI Data & Evaluation work in Wellington?
AI evaluation should connect dataset lineage, review criteria and model behaviour to the decisions a regulated workflow is allowed to make. Scope should begin with the systems, owners and evidence connected to secure data handling across institutional boundaries.
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.
