AI Training & Data Labeling
Pay your annotators per task, same week — and stop losing them to platforms that do.
Wingspan handles onboarding, tax compliance, and instant payments for AI companies and data labeling platforms managing thousands of distributed annotators, raters, and RLHF evaluators. Your contributors get paid when the work is done — not 60 days later.

Pay contributors the day work is approved — not next quarter
Annotators earning $15-25/hour and expert RLHF evaluators earning $35-75/hour both have the same expectation: get paid on time. On legacy payment platforms, contributors wait 30 to 90 days.
With Wingspan, approved payments hit contractor wallets the same day. Faster payment directly reduces churn in a workforce that can switch platforms overnight.
Onboard 500 annotators before the first task ships
New labeling projects launch fast. Wingspan collects W-9s, identity verification, signed contractor agreements, and role-specific qualification attestations in one flow.
Contributors finish from their phone in minutes. For expert pools — coders, scientists, lawyers providing RLHF feedback — Wingspan adds credential-specific requirements: NDA collection, portfolio review prompts, and copyright assignment agreements alongside tax documentation.
Build the compliance trail before regulators come asking
Scale AI, Appen, and other labeling platforms have faced class-action lawsuits and Department of Labor scrutiny over contractor classification. Wingspan creates the documented evidence that protects you: signed contractor agreements, verified business identities, collected W-9/W-8BEN forms, and a timestamped audit trail for every engagement.
Wayfinder AI verifies tax documents and identity automatically. For a managed AI services company onboarding 500 contributors, compliance is done before the first task is assigned.
Protect sensitive training data with NDA-gated onboarding
AI training data is proprietary. Yet most labeling platforms treat contractor onboarding as a payments problem, not a data security problem.
Wingspan embeds NDA collection and confidentiality agreements directly into the onboarding flow. Contributors cannot access task assignments until signed agreements are verified.
The platform enables us to realize the company mission and empower our network of technologists. Being able to pay the community quickly and efficiently is imperative.
