Scaling a QA department for an AI document intelligence platform
We partnered with a top AI company to quickly grow a QA team from 5 to 30 in two months, improving their RLHF product's accuracy.
About the company
Our client is a fast-growing AI company building a document ingestion platform that extracts critical information from unstructured data and delivers actionable insights to end users.
Their flagship product leverages Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) to continuously improve accuracy and relevance — making the quality of human evaluation central to the product's success and competitive positioning.

The challenge
The company's RHF strategy required a robust, structured QA function - but no such department existed, creating a critical gap in their ability to improve model accuracy at scale.
Explosive product growth meant the team needed to scale its QA capacity rapidly, without compromising on the quality or rigor of evaluations.
There were no established evaluation frameworks, data validation protocols, or structured review workflows in place to support the RLHF pipeline.
Hiring, onboarding, and operationalizing a large QA team in a highly specialized Al domain required a partner with deep recruiting expertise and speed.
The gap to fill
No dedicated QA department
RLHF accuracy at risk
Explosive growth with no QA infrastructure
No evaluation frameworks or workflows
Urgent need to scale - fast
The solution
Motum rapidly assembled and embedded a high-performing QA team, building the department's infrastructure — frameworks, workflows, and feedback loops - from scratch while scaling headcount at an unprecedented pace.
