# Job Review

> How your submissions are reviewed and what to expect after submitting work on WorkBolt.

## How reviews work

Every submission on WorkBolt goes through a quality review before payment is processed. This ensures that all data meets the standards required for AI training.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Submission received">
    After you submit your work, your job status changes to **Reviewing**. You'll see it in the Reviewing column of your My Jobs dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Quality evaluation">
    A reviewer evaluates your submission against the project's quality standards, scoring six key metrics.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Decision">
    Based on the quality scores, your submission is either **Accepted** or **Rejected**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Notification">
    You'll receive an email notification with the outcome. The full review details are also available on the job's detail page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Reviews typically take **5-7 business days** to complete. You don't need to do anything while your submission is being reviewed.

## Quality metrics

Each submission is scored across six dimensions:

| Metric                 | What it measures                                               |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Accuracy**           | How closely your submission follows the script or instructions |
| **Completeness**       | Whether all required elements and recordings are included      |
| **Consistency**        | Uniform pace, volume, and style throughout your submission     |
| **Background Noise**   | Amount of ambient noise present in your recordings             |
| **Voice Clarity**      | How clear and intelligible your speech is                      |
| **Microphone Quality** | Technical quality of your recording equipment and audio output |

Each metric is scored as a percentage. The combined assessment determines an overall **quality rating** and whether your submission meets the acceptance threshold.

## Review outcomes

### Accepted

If your submission is accepted:

* Your job moves to the **Completed** column in My Jobs
* A green "Job Completed" banner confirms the acceptance
* Your **payout amount** is calculated based on time spent and the job's hourly rate
* Payment is processed on the next [pay schedule](/payments/pay-schedule) cycle
* You can view the full review breakdown, including individual metric scores and the reviewer's note

### Rejected

If your submission is rejected:

* Your job moves to the **Rejected** column in My Jobs
* A red "Submission Not Accepted" banner is displayed
* The review card shows exactly which metrics fell short and why
* A **reviewer's note** provides specific feedback on what to improve
* No payment is issued for rejected submissions

<Warning>
  Repeated rejections may affect your eligibility for future projects. Take the feedback seriously and address any issues before submitting again.
</Warning>

## Reading your review

After a review is complete, you can view detailed results by clicking on the job in your My Jobs dashboard. The review card shows:

* **Quality Rating** — an overall rating (e.g., "Good", "Fair", "Poor")
* **Average Score** — the mean of all six metric scores
* **Individual Metrics** — circular progress indicators for each of the six quality dimensions
* **Reviewer's Note** — written feedback from the reviewer explaining the assessment

Scores are color-coded:

* **Green (80%+)** — meets or exceeds standards
* **Yellow (60–79%)** — borderline, room for improvement
* **Red (below 60%)** — below acceptable threshold

## Progress timeline

Each job detail page includes a **progress timeline** that visually tracks where your submission is in the review pipeline:

1. **Submission Received** — your work has been submitted
2. **Quality Review** — the review team is evaluating your work
3. **Final Decision** — accepted or rejected based on quality scores

## Improving after a rejection

If a submission is rejected, here's what you can do:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Review the quality metrics">
    Check which specific metrics scored below the threshold. Focus your improvement efforts on those areas.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Read the reviewer's note carefully">
    The reviewer's note explains exactly what went wrong. This is the most actionable feedback available.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Improve your recording setup">
    If background noise, voice clarity, or microphone quality were flagged, revisit the [Recording Setup](/equipment/recording-setup) guide and adjust your environment or equipment.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Follow instructions more closely">
    Low accuracy or completeness scores usually mean the script or instructions weren't followed precisely. Re-read all instructions before starting future jobs.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Contact support">
    If you believe a review was incorrect or need clarification, reach out to [support@workbolt.ai](mailto:support@workbolt.ai) with your job details.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
