How Teammately aligns your AI

AI leads adaptive expert elicitation

Agents prepare and adapt expert sessions to uncover the criteria, exceptions, and preferences behind a judgment. Experts contribute their reasoning while agents undertake the preparation and interpretation needed to put it to use.

Rubrics organized by policies

Carry a judgment beyond the review in which it was made. Rubrics express benchmark criteria; policies organize their scope and precedence so teams can apply shared standards across the enterprise.

Control what your benchmarks represent

A benchmark should represent the work your AI must handle, including difficult and consequential conditions. Coverage across ontologies makes the intended situations and proportions explicit, guiding the construction of cases and worlds.

Improve harnesses and weights

Use the same expert standards to guide harness changes and targeted training data. Evaluate the resulting behavior against planned coverage, keeping gains, regressions, and unresolved judgments visible.

“We have the technical expertise to improve AI, but how we improve it depends on business context and domain knowledge. Bringing that knowledge into the development process is a major challenge.”

Expert elicitation

Elicitation

Turn expert judgment into standards your AI can learn.

Teammately’s agents prepare and adapt case reviews, comparisons, inquiries, chat, and interviews to uncover the reasoning behind expert judgment. At checkpoints, experts review and approve the policies and case-specific rubrics developed from their contributions. Every criterion stays connected to the judgment that shaped it.

Correctness governance

Rubrics

Give teams a shared standard that improves with every insight.

Organize policies across teams, define how rubrics apply and score, and trace each criterion to its expert evidence. Agents detect policy conflicts and suggest focused reconciliation sessions. Differences in judgment reveal missing conditions and exceptions, giving your experts a concrete starting point for a more precise standard.

Coverage engineering · Weave

Coverage

Design the representation. Construct the cases to match.

See the complete path from coverage guidelines to benchmark datasets. Define the conditions, topics, and case construction patterns your benchmark should represent. Case Foundry finds reusable cases and uses Weave to synthesize missing cases, worlds, and supporting artifacts. Inspect how each addition serves the intended coverage.

Trialground

Benchmark Eval

Track harness iterations. Find the behavior behind every score.

Leaderboards, progress, and frontier views make harness development measurable. Compare candidates and investigate gains and regressions by policy, rubric, coverage dimension, topic group, and case construction pattern. Trialground connects each result to the cases, recorded behavior, and expert criteria that explain it.

Coevolve · Weave

Improve

Develop better harnesses and teach missing distinctions to weights.

Coevolve investigates benchmark failures, coordinates subagents, and tests competing harness prototypes while tracking protected behavior and progress. Weave uses the same expert distinctions to augment training data for supervised demonstrations, preference pairs, and rubric-guided optimization. Engineers gain tested harness ideas and grounded data for further development.

Retail · Merchandising

When relevance alone does not make a good recommendation.

A relevant product may still be the wrong recommendation. Customer intent, assortment priorities, availability, and acceptable alternatives change what an experienced merchant would choose.

“What I see in Teammately is a way to turn our experts’ knowledge into a lasting capability for AI development. It goes beyond collecting a dataset once—it gives teams the tools to keep building and improving their own.”

Expert judgment
Use expert comparisons to uncover why one recommendation is preferable to another. Develop the reasoning into rubrics that preserve customer needs, merchandising priorities, and the conditions under which a substitution is appropriate.
Coverage
Vary customer intent, product attributes, availability, and commercial constraints across ontology tuples. Include cases where several recommendations are defensible, with different trade-offs.
Evidence of improvement
Compare recommendations against the applicable rubrics, including the explanation and proposed alternatives. Examine which customer needs remain unmet and where stronger commercial performance would compromise the intended standard.

Software engineering · Coding-agent skills

Developing skills that generalize across repositories.

Passing tests can leave architecture, maintainability, and local conventions unresolved. A useful skill must carry engineering judgment into unfamiliar tasks.

“A real product needs its own definition of success. Human reviewers have to explain what’s good or bad—and why. Then you have to check whether the AI judge agrees.”

Expert judgment
Use expert comparisons of working implementations to establish what makes a change acceptable beyond functional correctness. Preserve the conditions under which a convention or trade-off applies.
Coverage
Vary task types, repository conventions, dependencies, and incomplete context. Keep assessment repositories and tasks separate from those used to develop the skill.
Evidence of improvement
Use Coevolve to investigate skill and harness changes in sandboxed prototypes, with Trialground supplying rubric evidence. Examine whether improvements transfer to the separate assessment tasks and which engineering standards still fail.

Logistics & industrial operations · Agents in worlds

Testing agents when actions change the world.

An action can be locally reasonable and still leave the next decision in a worse state. The benchmark needs to represent consequences, dependencies, and recovery.

“Teams need a way to see how far their evaluation dataset diverges from actual real-world usage—and when they need to update their test cases.”

Expert judgment
Establish what an agent may change, what evidence it needs before acting, and when recovery or escalation is appropriate. Judge the trajectory as well as its final answer.
Coverage
Use ontology tuples to specify consequential combinations of starting state, available information, tool behavior, and constraints. Synthesize worlds that exercise those conditions.
Evidence of improvement
Use Trialground to run harnesses against the defined environments and inspect recorded actions, state changes, and outcomes. Compare completion, violations, and recovery across the conditions tested.

Model development · Training data

Turning benchmark failures into targeted training data.

Repeated failures can reveal a missing distinction or an underrepresented condition. Expert rubrics and coverage direct Weave’s training-data augmentation, with independent assessment testing what the resulting weights have learned.

Airlines · Customer support

Resolving complex passenger cases when disruption changes the options.

Passenger support combines fare rules, connection dependencies, limited rebooking options, and service recovery. Capture how experienced teams weigh those constraints, then test whether agents can reach feasible resolutions, explain trade-offs, and recognize when an exception needs expert attention.

Read the practiceClose the practice
Expert judgment
Elicit how service experts distinguish an available itinerary from an acceptable resolution for the passenger. Carry fare conditions, journey dependencies, recovery options, and exception authority into benchmark criteria.
Coverage
Represent combinations of disruption, remaining connections, traveler needs, scarce alternatives, and changing availability. Include incomplete information and cases where resolving one leg leaves the wider journey unresolved.
Evidence of improvement
Assess whether proposed resolutions remain feasible under the supplied conditions, whether explanations distinguish confirmed options from possibilities, and whether escalation is appropriate. Examine performance across complex case types that become frequent during widespread disruption.

Financial services · Research

Establishing which evidence is sufficient for a recommendation.

Citing a source does not establish that a conclusion is warranted. Expert judgment determines which evidence applies, what remains uncertain, and how far a recommendation can go.

Read the practiceClose the practice
Expert judgment
Capture how research and advisory experts weigh evidence, distinguish supported conclusions from inference, and qualify uncertainty. Organize those distinctions into rubrics and policies with clear scope.
Coverage
Vary source quality, freshness, conflicting findings, research purpose, and missing context. Include cases where a persuasive synthesis would overstate what the evidence supports.
Evidence of improvement
Evaluate advisor-facing research and communication preparation against those criteria. Compare evidence use, material omissions, uncertainty, and unsupported conclusions while preserving the role of professional review.

Evaluating Teammately

Where Teammately fits.
What starting involves.

How does Teammately compare with Scale, Surge, and Mercor?

Scale, Surge, and Mercor are reference points for expert-powered data, evaluation, and model improvement programs.

Agents prepare and adapt expert contributions, develop proposed rubrics and coverage, and investigate improvements. Your team can reuse the reasoning and standards in later benchmarks, training datasets, and harness experiments, with expert work directed toward what changes or remains unresolved.

How does Teammately fit alongside LangSmith, Braintrust, or Promptfoo?

Teammately can work alongside your tracing, evaluation, and development tools. It gives your AI team a system for organizing expert elicitation, designing benchmark representation, and connecting that work to offline training and optimization.

For teams assembling this process with scripts and coding agents, Teammately’s agents undertake the recurring work of planning expert contributions, interpreting responses, and developing findings into rubrics and coverage. The initial scope defines how your existing tools and materials connect.

What does expert elicitation add to human evaluation?

Human evaluation supplies judgments about particular outputs or trajectories. Teammately’s agents also investigate the reasoning and conditions behind those judgments, adapting reviews, questions, and interviews as experts respond.

Findings become proposed rubrics, policies, and coverage, while unresolved distinctions guide further expert work. Your experts contribute judgment; agents undertake the preparation and interpretation needed to apply it across AI development.

How does production usage inform benchmark coverage?

Teammately ingests production interactions to examine where actual usage diverges from your benchmark’s planned representation. Emerging intents, conditions, and combinations inform coverage updates across ontologies and the construction of new cases and worlds.

These updates guide subsequent offline evaluation and improvement, keeping the benchmark connected to the work your AI encounters. Coverage also preserves rare, consequential situations that recent traffic may not contain.

Who operates Teammately, and where do we start?

Your AI team operates the platform and directs the development work. Agents undertake elicitation, construction, and experimentation; domain experts contribute judgment and approve proposed standards. Engineers decide which changes to adopt.

Bring a development objective and the materials you already have. You can begin with a new initiative, a training requirement, or an existing system; a finished benchmark is not required.

What would an initial scope deliver?

Together, we select a useful first output for your objective: reviewed rubrics and coverage, a benchmark, targeted training data, or a tested harness prototype. The choice follows your development needs and the materials you already have.

We define the expert participation, integrations, and execution or training environment the work requires. Responsibilities, usage assumptions, compute costs, and the evidence needed to assess progress are agreed as part of that scope. Review the pricing structure.

Built around your judgment

Let’s define where your AI should improve.

Share your development objective and what you have today. We’ll work out where Teammately can contribute, what a useful first result would be, and the expert participation, coverage, and integration it requires.
