What the work involves

You start each task by inventing a business scenario that would plausibly land on a senior analyst's or consultant's desk — a board-ready deck summarizing a quarterly performance review, a diligence output pack, a restructuring proposal with linked exhibits. The bar is that a competent professional would need multiple hours to do it well without AI. You then hold a structured four-turn conversation with a language model, asking it to produce or revise Office Open XML files (primarily .pptx, with Excel and Word in supporting roles), and after each turn you compare two candidate deliverables and pick the stronger one.

The judgment is where the value sits. You're not grading whether the deck looks nice; you're documenting whether the model followed a layered instruction, whether the numbers in the chart match the source table, whether the slide hierarchy actually supports the argument, and whether the XML output opens cleanly and renders as intended. Written rationales matter as much as the ranking — vague preferences don't help train anything.

What the platform screens for

  • Verifiable depth: micro1's screen is AI-led and asks follow-up questions, so name real deal types, reporting cycles, functions, and industries rather than describing generic "deck building."
  • Task design instinct: can you produce a scenario that is complex, specific, and self-contained enough for a model to attempt and for a reviewer to check?
  • Evaluation discipline: consistent criteria across turns, and an ability to separate formatting polish from substantive correctness.
  • Writing quality: feedback is a deliverable here, and the screen samples how clearly you explain a preference.

Logistics

Remote, contractor, fully asynchronous with no fixed shifts. Observed pay for this listing runs $20–60/hr, with placement in that range typically tracking seniority and domain scarcity — nothing about the band is guaranteed. Volume is project-driven and can move week to week; most contributors treat it as part-time work alongside a primary role. Expect an onboarding calibration phase where your rankings and rationales are reviewed before steady task flow begins.
