What OneForma does

OneForma is a crowdsourced data annotation and AI training data platform operated by Centific Global Solutions Inc., headquartered in Redmond, Washington, at 14980 NE 31st Way, Suite 100. The platform connects a global community of 1.8 million certified members across 222 markets and 300+ languages with AI development projects spanning annotation, data collection, transcription, translation, and judging/evaluation. Workforce filtering occurs through self-service registration, GenAI certifications, and graduate-level credentialing programs (Domain Expert Mastery Program), with specialized tracks for board-certified radiologists (Project Slice), US-licensed physicians (Physician Consultant Program), and graduate-degree domain experts.

The underlying technology is a multilingual project-matching platform that routes certified experts to projects based on language, domain expertise, and credential, supported by KYC verification and integrated payments through Payoneer and PayPal. Service delivery spans text annotation, audio/speaker identification, video and image annotation (including medical imaging), multimodal PHI annotation across spoken audio and clinical summaries, and machine translation post-editing across 51 language pairs. Specialized programs target regulated high-skill workflows such as structured radiology report generation, AI clinical documentation evaluation, and multilingual search-relevance annotation (Project MAPPA).

OneForma generates revenue through project-based managed services sold to AI/ML companies, healthcare AI developers, speech and language technology firms, and foundation model developers, fulfilled via Centific's enterprise engagement. Contributor compensation is structured per task, per hour, per word, or per record (e.g., $17-$22/hr for European languages, $0.012-$0.033/word for translation, $60-$150/record for health data), with no fee charged to join or participate on the contributor side. Distribution combines a self-service contributor web portal (my.oneforma.com) with direct enterprise sales through Centific, and compliance is maintained under GDPR (via the Barcelona EU entity), CCPA/CPRA, and HIPAA-aligned PHI workflows.
