About the role

You'll create research tasks that evaluate how well AI systems can find verifiable answers across the open web. Each task requires synthesizing multiple independent clues from public English sources, each supported by exact quotes. Your work is tested against frontier models and reviewed for rigor—only tasks with bulletproof sources and appropriate difficulty count. Remote, contract position; approximately four hours per completed task.

What you'll do

- Craft a 60-120 word prompt that feels like a genuine question—original phrasing, no copied content, no search hints.
- Research four to six clues across different reputable open English sources (excluding Wikipedia and paywalled content), each with a direct quote, URL, and verification date.
- Identify a definitive answer (name, date, catalogue number, or documented title) and clearly explain why alternatives don't fit.
- Document plausible wrong answers and which clue eliminates each; articulate your search path.
- Verify all sources while logged out; refine tasks that models solve too easily or that reviewers find unclear.

- Familiarity with archives and catalogues: libraries, museums, legislative and court records, registers, specialized databases (sports, film), Wayback Machine, preprint servers.
- Strong source evaluation: distinguishing primary from secondary sources, open from restricted, original from republished, stated facts from implications.
- Accurate citation: pulling verbatim text from web pages, PDFs, scans, and tables—typos included.
