Photo QA without turning supervisors into judges

Supervisors burn out when every decision feels bespoke. A standards library with IDs for good, borderline, and bad frames changes the conversation from “I don’t like this” to “this matches B-04.” We pair the library with a 15-minute monthly calibration call—not a long training theater. The goal is drift control, not perfection. Teams that skip calibration always regress after week six. It is predictable, almost boring, which is why we bake the reminder into the quarterly refresh checklist. If your category rules change weekly, libraries frustrate people. In that case, pause the library and fix upstream rules first.
