Sapien is an AI quality company building Proof of Quality, or PoQ, an evaluation system for AI work, built for cases where the right answer is unknown, or a matter of judgment. We spent two years and 195 million tasks learning how hard that problem is, and PoQ is what came out: the customer defines quality through a rubric, a panel of experts scores real work, agents supply the scale, and consensus makes the measure reliable. Teams use PoQ to find where their AI work needs improving, and for confidence in the quality when it meets their standard.
