Home / How It Works Process

From your brief to a delivered, verified file

The same six-step workflow runs behind every project, whether it's a one-off 2,000-row batch or an ongoing monthly pipeline.

Row 01Brief

You share the project and a sample

Send the source files (or a link/portal access), the target format, field-by-field rules, and your deadline. Most briefs are scoped within one business day, including an estimate of hours and cost.

Row 02NDA & scope

We confirm scope and sign an NDA

A short agreement covering data handling, confidentiality and turnaround is signed before any file is shared with the assigned team.

Row 03Staffing

A matched freelance team is assembled

Team size is set by volume and deadline. Each freelancer is briefed with a written style guide specific to your project — not a generic instruction sheet.

Row 04Entry

Data entry runs in tracked batches

Work is split into batches (typically 500–2,000 rows) so progress and quality can be checked continuously rather than only at the end.

Row 05Quality control

Every batch passes a second reviewer

A dedicated QC reviewer independently checks a sampled or full pass of each batch against your rules before it's marked complete. Batches below the agreed accuracy threshold are reworked at no extra cost.

Row 06Delivery

Files are handed off in your format

Delivered via your preferred sheet, portal or shared drive, with a short QC summary — rows processed, error rate found, and any flagged entries for your review.

Quality control

Two-layer verification, on every batch

Accuracy is checked structurally, not just visually — every batch goes through both an entry pass and an independent review pass before delivery.

  • Entry pass by a trained freelancer, following your field-level style guide
  • Independent QC pass by a separate reviewer, sampled or 100% depending on project risk
  • Automated field-format checks (dates, numbers, mandatory fields) ahead of manual review
  • A QC summary delivered with every batch — not just a finished file
STANDARD

Accuracy threshold

99%+ field-level accuracy is the standard target across projects; higher thresholds are available for compliance-sensitive data such as financial or medical records.

REWORK

Any batch found below the agreed threshold is corrected and re-verified at no additional cost.

Security & confidentiality

How your data is handled

NDA

Signed before access

A confidentiality agreement is signed before any freelancer is given access to your files.

ACCESS

Need-to-know access

Only the assigned team and QC reviewer can access a project's files — never the wider network.

RETENTION

Defined retention window

Source files are retained only for the agreed project window, then removed from working systems.

Pricing

Priced per project, not per hour guessed

Most projects are quoted per 1,000 rows or per hour of work, based on a sample file — so cost is clear before the team starts.

Per batch

Fixed-scope projects

One-off catalogs, backlogs or migrations — quoted per 1,000 rows after reviewing a sample.

Monthly

Ongoing pipelines

A dedicated team retained monthly for recurring intake — invoices, forms, listings.

Hourly

Variable-scope work

Research or unstructured tasks that don't reduce cleanly to a per-row rate.
