Project Deliverables & Scope Operate autonomously to design complex evaluation frameworks and provide structured training data.

Required Expertise To successfully fulfill the deliverables of this project, Contractors must possess deep industry knowledge to craft realistic professional scenarios. Core skillset includes: • Demonstrable professional expertise within the retail trade, merchandising, store management, or e-commerce sectors, with a deep understanding of industry standards, retail terminology, and inventory management. • Strong writing and prompt generation skills, with the ability to design highly realistic, complex retail task scenarios for AI evaluation. • Proficiency in rubric generation, specifically the ability to create objective, non-ambiguous scoring criteria that leave no room for subjective interpretation. • A meticulous, detail-oriented approach to fact-checking merchandising plans, pricing strategies, consumer data, and retail operations to generate reliable data for system benchmarking. We offer a pay range of $10-to-$30 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above.
