For prime contractors
Source content and quality assurance for government AI.

North Align provides specialist subcontract support for a defined collection or workflow, with deliverables that fit your delivery milestones and acceptance requirements.
The subcontracting offer
AI Knowledge Readiness & Quality Assurance
Start with one area of support or combine them around a defined workflow. We agree the source collection, selected deliverables, and review requirements with your project team.
Source-content preparation
Inventory the agreed documents and web pages, identify authoritative versions, and flag duplicates, gaps, and conflicting guidance. Prepare the material while preserving its meaning and traceability.
Typical outputsSource inventory, prepared files, version references, and an issue log for agency decisions.
Terminology & content standards
Develop practical guidance for terms, definitions, headings, and metadata. Improve consistency while preserving meaningful differences between agencies and programs.
Typical outputsTerminology glossary, content standards, and maintenance guidance for source owners.
Reviewer playbooks & training
Define what staff check, what they can approve, and when to escalate. Provide practical exercises covering accuracy, completeness, source support, and correction.
Typical outputsTask procedures, review checklists, escalation guidance, and reviewer training.
Documented quality evaluation
Develop representative questions, reference answers approved by the agency, and an evaluation rubric. With agreed access to the working system, assess outputs against source material and document errors and review effort.
Typical outputsEvaluation set, review rubric, and findings from agreed output checks.
For enterprise search, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), or agentic AI projects, this work supports a reviewed source collection and a practical method for checking the resulting outputs.
Leadership experience
Led by a former Minnesota state director
North Align is led by Adam Taha, former Director of Minnesota’s Enterprise Translations Office. In that role, he led a multilingual operation combining professional linguists, AI-assisted translation, terminology guidance, and human review.
That experience informs North Align’s approach to source preparation, reviewer procedures, and accountable delivery across teams.

Questions about working together
Can we commission just one part of the package?
Yes. An engagement can focus on source preparation, terminology standards, reviewer guidance, or quality evaluation. We define the deliverables and acceptance criteria around the work your project needs.
Can content preparation begin before the AI system is ready?
Yes. With the agreed source collection and agency owners available, we can prepare the inventory, content, terminology guidance, and evaluation criteria. Testing system outputs follows when the working environment, access, and technical responsibilities are in place.
Can the six-week pilot be delivered as a subcontract?
Yes. The AI Workflow Pilot & Verification engagement can form a defined work package for one workflow. Scope, agency approvals, technical responsibilities, and start conditions are agreed with your delivery team.
