Human data for consequential systems

Train for what
happens next.

Consequence Labs designs and operates custom human-data programs for world models, embodied AI, simulation, and agents.

Beyond static labels

The useful signal is often in the transition.

Models that reason about the world need evidence about sequences and consequences: what a person observed, what they did, what changed, and whether the result made sense.

We turn those questions into bounded collection and evaluation programs—with explicit protocols, qualified contributors, structured evidence, and acceptance criteria.

02 / Pilot formats

Start with a measurable question

From unusual data need
to accepted delivery.

01

Predicted-future evaluation

Compare possible rollouts, identify the first implausible transition, and capture structured rationale.

  • Plausibility judgments
  • Failure classification
  • Reusable evaluation rubrics
02

Failure and recovery data

Record attempts, failure modes, corrective actions, and outcomes as coherent episodes.

  • Action sequences
  • Recovery behavior
  • Episode-level metadata
03

Expert process data

Capture what qualified people notice, decide, expect, and change under alternative conditions.

  • Decision rationales
  • Counterfactuals
  • Structured expert evidence
03 / Method

A closed-loop program

Designed around the delivery.

Every engagement begins with the model decision the data must support, then works backward to the people, interactions, evidence, and quality controls required.

  1. 01
    Specify

    Define the unit of data, protocol, metadata, and acceptance test.

  2. 02
    Qualify

    Find and screen the right contributors or reviewers for the task.

  3. 03
    Collect

    Guide consistent interactions and preserve the evidence around them.

  4. 04
    Control

    Apply automated checks, human review, retakes, and provenance.

  5. 05
    Deliver

    Ship accepted assets, structured metadata, and a concise quality report.
