Post tasks the way you always have. Behind each assignment is a partner BPO that verified the worker, trained them, watches their quality and pays them. You approve results and receive one invoice.
System, custom and test-based qualifications gate who sees a task. Partners pre-qualify their people for your programs.
Seed known answers into the stream. Workers who miss them are paused by their partner manager, not silently rejected.
Two or more assignments per task with automatic escalation on disagreement. No surcharge for extra assignments.
Every partner names a program manager. Exceptions, disputes and retraining have an owner with a phone number.
Each program is routed to partners in the jurisdictions you approve, under written data-processing terms. Partners that handle regulated content operate controlled environments and named, trained teams. A2Z does not onboard, contract or pay individuals, so there are no anonymous accounts touching your data and no per-worker tax or payout exposure on your side or ours.
You set the task price. A2Z adds a single platform fee per program, quoted before you start. Partner management and worker payouts are inside the task price you see. There is no extra 20% for tasks with many assignments and no premium tier for better workers.
