Project Overview

We are sourcing independent Retail Trade Specialists to provide their expertise for an AI benchmark evaluation project. As AI models increasingly generate professional-grade retail strategies, merchandising plans, and omnichannel workflows, their accuracy relies entirely on robust, expert-crafted training data. The objective of this project is to autonomously produce high-quality evaluation tasks, strong prompts, and clear, well-structured rubrics that generate clean, reliable data for model training.

• Rubric Development: Writing clear, well-structured evaluation rubrics with criteria that are highly specific, non-ambiguous, and easy to score.
• Benchmark Evaluation Data Generation: Producing clean, reliable training data that directly aids in the evaluation and refinement of AI models handling complex retail and consumer-facing tasks.
• Quality Assurance & Fact-Checking: Ensuring all generated tasks and scoring criteria reflect strict, real-world retail market standards, consumer trends, and operational realities.
