Two disciplines.
One studio.
Since 2015, Marano has built a quiet, deliberate practice in two disciplines that the AI era now demands together — human-grade localization and AI training data. Same linguists. Same QA spine. Same studio.
We didn't pivot to AI data. We've been building the workforce for it for a decade.
Data infrastructure for frontier models.
We've trained AI models for global tech giants for years — ride-hailing platforms, social media, e-commerce, and short-form video. We don't crowdsource. Each annotator is recruited, domain-screened, NDA-bound, and audited under our own QA spine.
Production-grade craft, ten years deep.
Three vertical practices, one editorial standard. Every deliverable passes a multi-stage linguistic review before it leaves the studio.
The hardest part of AI data work isn't getting labels onto data. It's recruiting people whose judgment you'd trust on a Sunday at 2 a.m. — and keeping them for years. That's the same problem localization solved a long time ago.

Each link below opens a full editorial dossier — what we do, how we staff it, the QA stages, hardware where relevant, and representative client work.
Bring us your hard problem.
We move best on briefs that have lived through three other vendors. Multi-language. Production volume. Quality bars that don't bend.
