Audit snapshot
Project type: prompts, responses, transcripts, annotations and speech or text rows.
Sample size: 20 synthetic rows.
Deliverable: issue log, score summary, Hausa-specific notes and practical fixes.
Prompt, response, transcript, annotation and speech or text dataset review with severity-coded evidence and a production-readiness decision.
The synthetic sample contains enough usable Hausa to continue, but high-risk rows should be corrected and rechecked before training, evaluation, pilots or customer-facing use.
Project type: prompts, responses, transcripts, annotations and speech or text rows.
Sample size: 20 synthetic rows.
Deliverable: issue log, score summary, Hausa-specific notes and practical fixes.
A practical first step is a focused audit of 100 to 300 prompts, responses, transcripts, annotations, app strings or dataset rows.
The goal is to identify risky patterns early and decide whether the material is ready to scale.
| Review dimension | Score | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Meaning accuracy | 3.8 / 5 | Mostly preserved, but 2 items changed user intent. |
| Natural Hausa fluency | 3.6 / 5 | Understandable, with translationese and stiff wording. |
| Terminology consistency | 3.7 / 5 | Core terms need a small glossary before scale-up. |
| Cultural and local fit | 4.0 / 5 | Generally suitable, but some advice feels imported. |
| Safety and user trust | 4.2 / 5 | Mostly safe, with one high-risk guidance issue. |
| Dataset readiness | 3.5 / 5 | Good pilot material, not clean enough for unchecked training. |
| ID | Data type | Finding | Severity | Practical fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HAI-001 | Prompt-response | The Hausa answer changes the task from resetting a password to creating a new account. | Major | Preserve the exact user action and rewrite the answer in clear Hausa. |
| HAI-002 | Speech transcript | A payment amount is transcribed incorrectly: dubu biyar becomes dubu biyu. | Critical | Add number and entity verification, then flag mixed Hausa-English audio for reviewer check. |
| HAI-003 | UI localization | Danna nan don ci gaba gaba is understandable but duplicated and unnatural. | Minor | Use concise UI Hausa such as Taɓa nan don ci gaba for mobile contexts. |
| HAI-004 | Support and safety | The answer gives imported emergency guidance without local context or product-approved wording. | Critical | Replace it with approved safety guidance and localize the escalation path. |
