# Humanbased

Humanbased is the Data Marketplace OS for frontier AI training data. It helps AI builders launch accountable human, expert, team, and agent-powered data campaigns with campaign workflow, attribution, compensation, and reusable data products built in.

This context follows `websites/context-hub/knowledge/strategy-room` as the canonical strategy source.

## What Humanbased Does

Humanbased routes AI training data demand to qualified people, experts, teams, organizations, and agents. It supports campaign workflows for sourcing, data labeling, validation, model evaluation, human evaluation, expert review, dataset assembly, publishing, and marketplace reuse.

The platform is designed for AI labs, startups, agent builders, independent experts, self-forming teams, company-led teams, and contributors who participate in AI data work.

The first growth wedge is paid frontier data campaigns. Priority frontiers include physical AI, video and world-modeling data, voice data, 3D and 2D-to-3D design data, and expert model evaluation. The business thesis is to turn custom AI data work into reusable, attributed, royalty-bearing marketplace assets.

## Core Surfaces

- Campaign workflow OS: self-serve workflows for sourcing, labeling, validation, evaluation, and dataset assembly.
- Expert and team marketplace: qualified humans, experts, teams, organizations, and agents participate with clear roles, quality signals, payouts, and reputation.
- Attribution and ownership layer: accepted contributions can carry instance-level provenance, contribution records, data rights, royalties, and a path to future revenue when data access or ownership changes hands.
- Compensation engine: upfront payment, hybrid compensation, royalties, marketplace resale, and platform fee capture.
- Contributor Portal: contributors complete accepted work, build reputation, keep attribution, and receive payouts primarily through USDC.
- Developer Portal: AI builders commission datasets, evaluations, expert review, and agent-assisted workflows.
- XnY Protocol: protocol layer for contribution lineage, usage rights, ownership, and royalty paths.
- Frontier data products: repeatable domain templates for video, world modeling, voice, 3D, and 2D-to-3D design data.

## Growth And Buyer Context

Humanbased should be evaluated as a campaign workflow platform plus marketplace, not as a commodity annotation vendor. Initial buyers include physical AI teams, video and world-modeling builders, voice model teams, 3D generation teams, expert evaluation buyers, and developers who need quality-scored datasets with provenance.

The near-term sales motion is anchor campaigns: Humanbased helps buyers launch high-quality workflows first, then turns accepted outputs into reusable data assets with provenance summaries, license terms, API access, and royalty routing.

The long-term marketplace motion is cross-campaign reuse: data produced for one buyer in a frontier can become available to later buyers, with royalties flowing to contributors and other rights holders according to the accepted contribution terms.

## Canonical Definition

Humanbased is an accountable production system and marketplace for frontier AI data work. Organizations commission or purchase datasets, evaluations, expert review, and data campaigns; contributors, teams, and agents supply, label, validate, evaluate, and assemble the work; accepted contributions can carry attribution, data rights, upfront compensation, and future royalty paths.
