Home / Guides / Starkworth Glossary: Key Terms Explained

Introduction

A few terms come up repeatedly across the site, and it helps to have them defined clearly in one place. This glossary is a good first stop before reaching out to Support, or whenever a term in another guide isn't immediately clear.

Who This Applies To

Anyone reading Starkworth's guides, FAQ, or agreement documents — this is a reference page, not a role-specific guide.

Why It Matters

Keeping these terms straight makes the rest of the site's guides, FAQ, and agreement documents much easier to follow, and prevents the kind of misunderstanding that leads to avoidable mistakes before signing.

What's Involved

  • Account Owner — the verified individual whose profit-sharing agreement governs a managed AI annotation account.
  • Annotator — the registered individual who performs annotation tasks on a managed account and is paid weekly.
  • Profit-Sharing Agreement — the signed legal document defining the exact earnings split and payment schedule for a specific account.
  • Live Screening — a short video verification session required by AI annotation platforms to confirm the account holder's identity.
  • Payout — the weekly payment issued every Wednesday by 3:00 PM (CST), calculated against an individual signed agreement.
  • Authenticated Dashboard — the logged-in area where sensitive details like full payment information are collected after approval, never on a public form.
  • Registration Review — the 48-hour window Starkworth uses to evaluate new Annotator applications before approval.

Step-by-Step Process

Use this glossary alongside the FAQ and other guides — whenever a term isn't immediately clear in context, it's likely defined here.

What You Need to Get Started

Nothing beyond this page itself — it's a reference resource, not a process with prerequisites.

Typical Timeline

Not applicable — this is a reference page, updated as terminology evolves across the site.

What Determines Your Terms

Starkworth doesn't use fixed public pricing tiers — every Account Owner and Annotator works under an individually signed agreement. The figures below explain what shapes those terms, not a price list.

Not applicable — this page defines terminology, not pricing or agreement terms.

Ongoing Support

If a term you've encountered elsewhere on the site isn't defined here, let Support know so it can be added.

Example Scenario

Illustrative example — not a real customer case study

Someone reading their draft agreement encounters the phrase "Authenticated Dashboard" and isn't sure what it means. A quick check of this glossary clarifies it's the logged-in area where full payment details are entered post-approval — exactly the context needed to understand that section of the agreement.
