• Draft legislative affairs materials, including bill analysis, fiscal notes, amendment tracking, testimony preparation, and constituent or stakeholder correspondence.
• Review and grade AI-generated outputs for accuracy, completeness, procedural soundness, and fidelity to the governing authority, identifying subtle errors, edge cases, and failure modes in model reasoning.
• Provide clear, structured written rationale explaining why an answer is correct, incomplete, or wrong, and collaborate with the team to refine evaluation rubrics and raise the quality bar for this domain.
