rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: US
Field: Creative

Create and assess military and federal reports used to train AI systems, including SITREPs, WARs, AARs, memoranda and executive updates. The work calls for practical knowledge of Department of Defense documentation, reporting standards and branch-specific terminology.

The work

Contractors create realistic military and federal reports from prompts and supplied artifacts. Assignments may include Weekly Activity Reports (WARs), Situation Reports (SITREPs), After-Action Reviews (AARs), executive summaries, decision briefs, memoranda, action officer updates, PowerPoint materials and spreadsheets.

Evaluation responsibilities

You will develop standards-aligned reference answers, write grading rubrics and evaluate AI-generated documents. Reviews may require written and verbal feedback on factual grounding, structure, terminology, compliance and fitness for the intended audience. Contributors also explain stylistic differences among branches and compare reasonable approaches to the same reporting task.

What the platform screens for

The screening is likely to ask for verifiable examples of military or federal documentation you have produced or reviewed. Expect follow-up questions about how you distinguish document types, extract facts from source material, avoid unsupported claims, apply reporting standards and make grading decisions when more than one format could be acceptable. Prior AI experience is not required.

Logistics

This is a remote contractor role limited to contributors based in the United States. The listing does not state typical weekly hours or confirm that all work is asynchronous, so candidates should be ready to describe their availability for independent assignments and remote collaboration.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether your background includes direct responsibility for authentic operational or administrative documentation rather than only general exposure to military terminology.
A strong answer: Give your organization or setting, role, length of experience and specific documents you drafted, staffed, reviewed or approved. Clarify your level of ownership and the audiences those documents served.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by naming an affiliation or job title without identifying any documents they personally produced or evaluated.
