micro1 is contracting supply chain managers to create and review training material for AI models — demand forecasts, supplier scorecards, inventory analyses, and procurement scenarios drawn from real operating experience. Pay has been observed between $55 and $100/hr, remote and project-based, with no prior AI work required.

Summary, eligibility guidance and screening preparation are prepared by Sidequest from the platform's posting. Check the source listing before applying.

What the work actually involves

You are not managing a supply chain here — you are producing the artifacts and reasoning that teach a model what competent supply chain work looks like. A typical task might ask you to build a demand forecast from a messy set of historical shipment data and explain your assumptions; to construct a supplier scorecard weighting cost, quality, on-time delivery and responsiveness, and justify the weights; or to read a model's attempt at an inventory discrepancy analysis and mark exactly where its logic breaks. Work arrives as discrete tasks with rubrics. Much of the value sits in the written justification, not the number you land on — reviewers care whether you can say why safety stock moves when lead time variance doubles.

Expect a mix of generation (you produce the correct artifact) and evaluation (you rank or critique model outputs). Excel work is intermediate, not modelling-heavy: pivot tables, XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, basic formula chains for reporting. ERP exposure is expected at a practitioner's user level — you should be able to describe what a purchase requisition looks like in SAP or NetSuite, what fields matter, where data goes wrong.

What the screen looks for

micro1's process is AI-led and largely conversational. It probes for specifics that only someone who did the job would have: the commodity you sourced, the ERP module you lived in, the forecast horizon you owned, what your MAPE looked like and why. Vague managerial summaries read as thin. It also tests whether you can articulate a judgment call under follow-up — screeners routinely push a second and third time on the same answer to see if the reasoning holds.

Logistics

Contractor, fully remote, asynchronous within task deadlines
Typically part-time; contributors often report 10–20 hours a week, with volume varying by project phase
Pay observed in the $55–100/hr range, set by project and assessed depth — not guaranteed
Work is delivered through the platform's task tooling; you need reliable internet and a working spreadsheet environment
