The Opportunity

- Evaluate AI-generated responses for financial accuracy, reasoning quality, technical rigor, and completeness using structured evaluations.
- Collaborate with domain experts to translate finance expertise into high-quality evaluation criteria and training signals.
- Identify common failure modes in financial reasoning, modelling assumptions, valuation methodologies, and transaction analysis.
- Document best practices, reasoning frameworks, and evaluation guidelines to improve AI performance across financial domains.
