TRIAGE THAT SCALES

WITH YOUR SYSTEM

Autonomous systems generate a constant stream of events, anomalies, and edge cases—but not every issue requires the same level of investigation. iMerit’s triage services are designed as a structured escalation framework, ensuring every issue is handled at the right level—from high-volume validation to full-stack root cause analysis.

Whether you are validating datasets, investigating perception failures, or diagnosing system-level behavior, iMerit provides the expertise and workflows to move from signal to resolution efficiently.

“I want to say thank you to everyone on this team for working hard. I know we are asking a lot and our bar for quality is high. It has to be, we are trying to build a safer, more reliable transportation option for the world.”
– Data Service Lead

the triage framework

FROM SIGNAL TO ROOT CAUSE

iMerit’s triage model is built as a three-tier system that mirrors how autonomous systems are developed, tested, and improved.

TIER 1 - OPERATIONAL TRIAGE

Identify and structure issues at scale

Operational triage focuses on rapid intake, classification, and validation of large volumes of data and events—ensuring issues are identified, categorized, and ready for downstream analysis.

KEY OUTCOMES:

  • Clean, validated datasets ready for use
  • Structured incident pipelines
  • Early detection of data and annotation issues

TYPICAL USE CASES:

  • Dataset validation workflows
  • Annotation QA and defect detection
  • High-volume event triage

TIER 2 - TECHNICAL TRIAGE

Investigate failures and validate system behavior

Technical triage analyzes scenarios in depth, using replay and multi-sensor data to understand why systems fail and where performance gaps exist.

KEY OUTCOMES:

  • Clear understanding of perception and localization issues
  • Identification of failure patterns and anomalies
  • Validated insights for model improvement

TYPICAL USE CASES:

  • Perception and localization validation
  • Scenario-level failure investigation
  • Dataset anomaly detection

TIER 3 - ENGINEERING TRIAGE

Diagnose and resolve complex system failures

Engineering triage delivers full-stack analysis across the autonomy system, identifying root causes and enabling teams to fix issues at the source.

KEY OUTCOMES

  • Root cause attribution across autonomy modules
  • Deeper insight into system behavior and edge cases
  • Actionable recommendations for engineering teams

TYPICAL USE CASES:

  • Edge case analysis
  • Disengagement and safety event investigation
  • Pre-release validation and regression analysis
“Congratulations to the team for some really solid, high quality work that we have been seeing…we are working our way through a backlog and the quality keeps getting better and better!”

STRUCTURED ESCALATION MODEL

iMerit’s triage services are designed to work together as a continuous workflow. This ensures that every issue moves efficiently from detection to diagnosis—without overloading engineering teams or slowing development cycles.

1

OPERATIONAL TRIAGE

Filters and structures incoming data

2

TECHNICAL TRIAGE

Investigates and validates system performance

3

ENGINEERING TRIAGE

Identifies root causes and drives resolution

TURNING DATA INTO DECISIONS

Without structured triage, autonomous systems struggle to learn from real-world performance. Critical issues go unresolved, feedback loops slow down, and engineering teams are overwhelmed with unprioritized data.

iMerit triage services ensure that:

  • High-impact issues are identified early
  • Noise is filtered out from valuable signals
  • Every failure becomes a learning opportunity
