$50–100/hr

rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: STEM and Coding

Review AI-generated intelligence assessments, threat analyses, and national security scenarios for accuracy, realism, and analytical quality. This remote contractor role suits experienced analysts who can evaluate sources, reasoning, uncertainty, and bias without relying on unsupported conclusions.

The work

You will evaluate AI-generated intelligence reports, threat assessments, strategic analyses, and decision-making scenarios. Day-to-day tasks include checking source credibility, identifying analytical gaps or bias, testing whether conclusions follow from available evidence, and providing structured feedback that improves the model's output.

What micro1 screens for

The screening is likely to focus on specific professional experience within civilian intelligence or an equivalent national intelligence organization, including the CIA, NSA, MI6/SIS, or GCHQ. Expect follow-up questions on strategic intelligence, counterterrorism, counterintelligence, geopolitical analysis, source evaluation, analytical tradecraft, government briefing, and the communication of uncertainty. Candidates should discuss methods and unclassified examples rather than protected operational details.

Working arrangements

This is a remote contractor engagement. The listing does not specify whether work is fully asynchronous, how many hours are typically available, or whether work must overlap with a particular time zone, so candidates should confirm these points during onboarding.

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 experience is specific, verifiable, and directly connected to intelligence analysis rather than adjacent policy, military, academic, or administrative work.
A strong answer: Give your organization type, role scope, approximate tenure, mission area, and concrete product types, while keeping operational details unclassified. Clarify whether you drafted, coordinated, reviewed, or briefed each product.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by naming an agency or broad portfolio without explaining their own analytical responsibilities or deliverables.
