# Data & AI platforms

Axio Intelligence builds data and AI platforms — ingestion and transformation pipelines, human-in-the-loop labeling workflows, workforce and project management, automated quality control, and Kubernetes-orchestrated containerized workloads — that turn raw multimodal data (video, audio, images, text and 3D) into model-ready datasets. We engineered the platform MLtwist uses to deliver AI data work, including its U.S. TSA contract.

[Scope your project](https://axiointelligence.com/book/) 

## You probably need this if…

- Data preparation, not modeling, is what’s slowing your AI program down.

- Labeling runs on spreadsheets, email threads and one-off scripts.

- Every new customer or dataset needs a custom pipeline built from scratch.

- A government or enterprise buyer wants proof of data lineage, quality and security.

## What you get

### Pipeline orchestration

Custom pipelines triggered per project, running as containerized jobs on Kubernetes that scale with the workload.

### Labeling workflows

Task setup, assignment, review loops and connectors to third-party annotation tools.

### Project & workforce management

Customers, projects, labelers and reviewers managed in one system, with throughput and quality visibility.

### Automated quality control

Validation rules and QC on human-in-the-loop revisions before anything ships.

### Versioning & lineage

Tracked, versioned data in a secure environment, with an audit trail from raw input to delivered dataset.

### Delivery in any format

Transformation and packaging to the customer’s schema — JSON, standard formats such as DICOS, or custom.

## What we work in

ClickHouse, Kafka / Redpanda, Apache Flink, Elasticsearch / OpenSearch, Apache Iceberg, Parquet, DuckDB, PostGIS / H3, Kubernetes, Python, Postgres, Object storage (S3 / GCS), Human-in-the-loop labeling, Multimodal data, DICOS

Named platforms and standards describe what we build with and build to; they don’t imply a formal partnership or certification with the vendor.

Typical engagement

**Shape:** Pipeline sprint or full platform build

**Timeline:** Pipeline sprint: 2–4 weeks · Platform: 3–6 months

**Pricing:** Fixed fee, quoted after scoping

> Axio engineered the platform MLtwist runs on — how we manage projects and people, run labeling, and launch custom pipelines on Kubernetes. It’s the foundation we deliver our public sector work on. They build like owners, and they ship.

## Data & AI platforms: common questions

### Can Axio build a data labeling or AI data platform?

Yes. We built the platform MLtwist runs on: project and workforce management, labeling projects, automated QC, and custom pipelines triggered on Kubernetes as containerized workloads. It is the foundation MLtwist delivered its $590K U.S. TSA multimodal labeling contract on.

### Did Axio work directly for the TSA?

No. MLtwist holds the TSA contract. Axio engineered the MLtwist platform that the work is delivered on.

### What data types can these pipelines handle?

Video, audio, images, text and 3D data, including security-imaging formats such as DICOS — preprocessed, labeled, quality-checked and packaged in the format the model team needs.
