Home / Guides / How Annotators and Account Owners Work Together

Introduction

Annotators and Account Owners don't typically interact directly — Starkworth sits in the middle, managing the account both roles connect to. Understanding how the pieces fit together clarifies what each side is actually responsible for.

An Account Owner's account generates the earnings that fund both the Account Owner's share and, separately, the pay Annotators earn for the tasks they complete.

Key Points

  • The Account Owner owns and authorizes the account; Starkworth manages it; Annotators perform the tasks on it.
  • Account Owner pay is a percentage of Net Earnings; Annotator pay is based on task performance and input — two separate calculations.
  • Annotators don't need to know who the Account Owner is, and vice versa — Starkworth is the operational link between them.
  • Both roles are governed by their own separate signed agreement.
