Zovda
Data appears on project plans as a task with a duration, usually placed near the end, usually compressed when other things slip. Then the model is trained on the first draft of a corpus nobody had time to review.
The schedule is the quality decision, made before anyone writes a line.
What the work actually takes
- A guideline, written by someone who has done the task
- A calibration round on a small batch, with disagreements resolved
- A pilot at real difficulty, evaluated against a baseline
- One revision of the guideline, based on what the pilot found
- The main run, with sampled review
Compress any of these and the compression shows up as review cost later.
Start with the row that scopes everything
What is one row. Not the schema, not the volume: the unit. Most schedule slippage starts with a disagreement about the unit that happened after the work began.
Buy the pilot, not the promise
A pilot in week one costs less than a rescue in week ten. It also produces the numbers you need to size the main run, which is the thing plans usually guess.
Keep a buffer for the revision
Every dataset that has been reviewed has a second version. Budgeting for one revision is not pessimism, it is arithmetic.
Zovda runs these programs through Datuva, where the pilot and the main run share one structure. The corpus catalogue shows what each family requires.
