As seen on

This is not busywork.

The most advanced language models still hallucinate earnings figures, misapply valuation frameworks, and invent regulatory requirements. You're the analytical filter that catches what machines can't — one annotation at a time.

01-Rigor

Institutional-Grade Analysis

These are not labeling tasks. You're evaluating financial models, finding subtle errors in multi-step valuation reasoning, and constructing solutions to problems that current AI cannot solve reliably. The work demands the same rigor you'd apply to your own client engagements.

02-Signal

Direct Impact on Financial AI

Every correction you make becomes training signal for models handling real capital decisions. When you identify that a model misapplied a discount rate, conflated GAAP and IFRS treatments, or hallucinated a regulatory requirement, you're preventing compounding errors at scale.

03-Flexibility

Work on Your Schedule

No fixed hours, no desk coverage, no compliance approvals. Tasks are available 24/7 and you choose when and how much to work. Most contributors work 10–50+ hours per week alongside their primary roles in banking, asset management, or academia.

04-Rate

Premium Compensation

Financial expertise is scarce and we pay accordingly. Rates start at $50/hour and scale with complexity and performance. Compensation is competitive with freelance consulting rates and significantly above typical survey or data-labeling platforms.

Three steps.
No overhead.

01

Apply & Qualify
