AI evaluation data
What is AI evaluation data?
Quick answer
AI evaluation data is a dataset used to test how well a model performs, kept separate from the data it was trained on. Good evaluation sets are realistic, representative and have verified correct answers, often from domain experts. Because results are only trustworthy if the data has never been seen in training, evaluation data is often licensed under stricter, sometimes exclusive, terms.

Why it matters#
Public benchmarks can become contaminated when they leak into training data. Developers therefore seek fresh, private evaluation sets that reflect real tasks.
Examples#
- Real support questions with approved answers
- Contracts with expert clause annotations
- Coding tasks with verified solutions and tests
- Medical coding cases with audited codes
Value drivers#
- Expert-verified ground truth
- Realism and coverage of edge cases
- Guaranteed separation from training
- Exclusivity
Licensing#
Licences typically limit use to testing, prohibit training on the data and require confidentiality.
