About these turnaround times
The figures above are measured from real evaluations completed within the last 3 months, not theoretical targets. Across all locales, the overall median return time was 5h 56m and the overall average was 23h 28m. The Turnaround column reports the median for each locale. A few things to keep in mind:- Some languages take longer. Sinhala, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam have smaller evaluator pools and lower throughput, so individual runs can extend beyond the 48-hour figure shown. We do not throttle them — we wait for qualified native speakers rather than relaxing the bar.
- Larger evaluations take proportionally longer. Figures assume a standard
num_evaland moderate sample count. Very large jobs extend the window. - Time of day and timezone matter. A job launched as the target region wakes up returns faster than one launched at local midnight.
