Problem
Most AI training data is produced by anonymous crowds with unverified credentials, leading to model degradation. Without specialist filters or verified expertise, AI systems lack the deep-rooted context needed for reliable performance across professional domains.
Solution
Sagaru is building a network of vetted experts from Africa and the African diaspora who help evaluate, benchmark, and improve AI across universal domains and context-aware professional practice. Each expert undergoes a rigorous vetting process that verifies credentials at source, checks professional affiliations for standing, and tests real skills rather than just qualifications. A community approach—where experts work together—adds deep-rooted context that standard data collection cannot reach. Experts are matched with AI opportunities through a structured three-step process: open application, vetting, and acceptance reserved for those who earn it.
Target Audience
Primary customers are AI companies and research organizations seeking high-quality, context-aware training data, model evaluation, and benchmarking services that require verified professional expertise rather than anonymous crowdsourcing.
