Train agents on the judgment of people who have run the function.

Sidebar gives frontier labs access to senior operators who create and evaluate training signal for real business work, from GTM and product to engineering, finance, operations, and customer experience.

When the task requires judgment.

They know not only what the answer should be. They know what good judgment looks like when the answer is unclear.

01

Sidebar Frontier is built for labs training agents to perform economically valuable business work — where generic annotators and academic credentials are not enough.

02

We focus on the operating functions we know deeply: GTM, product, engineering, finance, operations, and customer experience.

03

Our experts have owned the number, run the incident, made the pricing call, killed the roadmap item, or told a customer no at a real company, with real consequences.

Turn operating judgment into training signal.

01

Create expert demonstrations and decision traces

02

Design realistic, long-horizon business tasks

03

Evaluate agent outputs and trajectories

04

Develop rubrics, edge cases, and success criteria

05

Compare model decisions against professional standards

06

Red-team agents across business workflows

Why now.

01

The bottleneck moved from labels to judgment

Models increasingly know the answer. They still struggle to recognize what a good decision looks like inside a real company.

02

Agents need ground truth on real work

As agents take on entire workflows, labs need realistic tasks, trajectories, rubrics, and evaluations created by people who have actually performed the function.

03

The best operators are difficult to reach

Senior leaders do not join anonymous task marketplaces or answer generic job posts. Sidebar spent years building their trust — and we have the recruiting infrastructure to find more when the network is not enough.

How it works.

We recruit and screen the talent. Your lab directs the work.

01

Define the work

We work with your team to translate the capability you are training or evaluating into realistic tasks, success criteria, and an expert-scoring rubric.

02

Recruit the operators

We match from Sidebar's network by function, industry, seniority, and lived experience. Where the network doesn't cover a domain, our recruiting team goes and gets it.

03

Score every candidate

Every operator is evaluated against the experience and judgment your project requires. We preserve the interview, evidence, and score behind every recommendation.

04

You see everyone, scored

You receive a ranked group of operators and choose who joins the project. Your team controls the research and project workflow. Sidebar handles recruiting, assessment, contracting, onboarding, and payments.

Why Sidebar.

A network that already exists, and leaders that already trust us

Our network includes Fortune 500 executives, founders, and senior functional leaders. They are not gig workers we advertised to. They are people who already trust Sidebar and take our call.

Screening we own, not vetting we claim

Every vendor in this market says its experts are vetted. We can show you the rubric, interview, evidence, and score behind every operator we recommend. Superinterviews was built for organizations that reject "good enough" as the bar.

Recruiting as a real capability

When you need thirty RevOps leaders who've run a CRM migration, or heads of support at companies past 10,000 tickets a day, the network is a warm start, not a ceiling. Sourcing hard roles is the business we were already in.

The people capable of teaching agents how business actually works are running businesses today.
