Appeal Workflow
Appeal workflow defines how annotators can contest review outcomes and receive clarifications.
Why it matters for annotators
Healthy appeal channels improve fairness and guideline clarity.
Visual mental model
Rejected item -> appeal submission -> review resolution.
Examples (bad vs good)
Scenario: Real annotation scenario involving Appeal Workflow
Bad: Labeling quickly without applying project rubric.
Good: Applying rubric criteria, documenting rationale, and escalating uncertainty.
Common mistakes
- Skipping guideline details for edge cases.
- Applying inconsistent criteria across similar samples.
- Avoiding escalation even when uncertain.
Submission checklist
- Read the latest guideline update before each batch.
- Apply rubric dimensions explicitly in each decision.
- Escalate ambiguous items with concise rationale.
