Tasks
We are launching a project focused on evaluating AI-generated financial analysis and market event reasoning. You'll review AI outputs covering stock price movements, earnings events, commodity dynamics, and cross-market relationships — and assess whether the AI's logic actually holds up.

- OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) stock data and price-volume relationships
- Earnings-driven price movements and market event analysis
- Commodity markets — energy (crude, natural gas), metals (gold, silver, copper), agriculture (corn, soybeans, wheat, coffee)
- Cross-channel analysis — understanding how price channels and volume interact
- Financial news verification — checking whether cited market events actually happened
Requirements
You’re a strong candidate if you:
- Are fluent in English
- Have strong analytical and quantitative skills and are confident working with financial models and valuation frameworks
- Communicate clearly and precisely
