What you will do:

Identify realistic search-related failures where an AI model provides inadequate responses.

Create search queries, test them, document what went wrong, and write instructions and evaluation criteria for correct answers.

Common issues: local relevance, source quality, outdated information, language mismatches, incomplete answers, and region-specific inapplicability. Testing multiple queries before finding failures is expected.
Requirements:

- Research skills: ability to find and verify information from multiple sources; comfort navigating different websites, databases, and documentation

- Critical thinking: Can spot contradictions between sources, identify outdated information, and recognize when something doesn't apply to a specific locale/context

- Attention to detail: Can catch nuances in language, local variations (prices, regulations, requirements), and edge cases

- Problem-solving mindset: Comfortable iterating and testing when things don't work; doesn't get frustrated by trial-and-error

- Domain knowledge: Ideally someone with background in research, quality assurance, compliance, or similar work that requires precision and source verification

- Writing clarity: Can articulate instructions and rubrics clearly so others understand the logic behind their reasoning

- Locale knowledge: Deep familiarity with their specific locale (local regulations, business practices, cultural nuances) is valuable for spotting region-specific failures
