• Analyze statutory subsections, including defined terms, conditions, thresholds, exceptions, and related provisions.
• Create structured evaluation rubrics that convert statutory requirements into discrete, objective, and testable criteria.
• Assign severity levels to requirements based on their legal significance.
• Review AI-generated interpretations and evaluate them against independently developed rubrics.
• Verify that AI outputs correctly capture conditions, thresholds, AND/OR logic, exceptions, exclusions, and defined terms.
• Develop clear, self-contained test scenarios and edge cases, including relevant facts, dates, amounts, and expected outcomes.
• Identify discrepancies, statutory exceptions, ambiguities, and potential inaccuracies in AI-generated tax content.
• Submit structured written evaluations and feedback through digital review platforms.
• Provide precise, actionable feedback to improve the accuracy and reliability of technology-driven tax solutions.

• Excellent structured written communication skills with an emphasis on precision and clarity.
• Exceptional attention to detail, especially when analyzing exceptions, exclusions, and edge cases.
• Strong analytical and critical-thinking abilities.
• Comfortable providing structured feedback and evaluations through digital review platforms.
