Crowdsourcing myths
AWS Government, Education, and Nonprofits Symposium Washington, DC | June 24, 2014 - June 26, 2014
• It’s cheaper– It’s actually more efficient
• It’s faster– It’s actually more scalable
• It’s not accurate– It’s actually more accurate

Crowdsourcing Best Practices
AWS Government, Education, and Nonprofits Symposium Washington, DC | June 24, 2014 - June 26, 2014
• Consider the question carefully– Workers answer what you ask
• Select your workers– Perspective and skills vary
• Iterate and Optimize– Adjust for optimal results

Choosing your workers[ ]8
Workers are different– from language and cultural differences – to varying skills. Test and monitor.

Monitor and Improve[ ]9
Monitor key metrics, adjust and measure key attributes impact on those metrics.
AWS Government, Education, and Nonprofits Symposium Washington, DC | June 24, 2014 - June 26, 2014
• Accuracy– Know your current
• Throughput– Understand both turnaround and scale requirements
• Cost– Measure against a budget – as cost can impact the other two
Key Metrics[ ]10
“Great service, Good food, Friendly staff – you can choose two”

Cost[ ]11
Cost is impacted most by the efficiency of the other two metrics.

Accuracy[ ]12
Error has two sources: human and systematic. Isolating human error and solving for systematic error gives a better chance for long term success.

Accuracy[ ]13
After solving for systematic error choosing the best workers and monitoring those workers provides the next step towards high accuracy and lowering costs.
