The "Physical AI & Search E-E-A-T" Benchmark
- →The core task: Annotating multimodal datasets for robotics trajectories, computer vision, and spatial digital twins.
- →Fuel iX Governance: Evaluating customer-facing AI agents for factual accuracy, safety, and brand alignment using TELUS's Fuel iX stack.
- →Search & Media Evaluation: Maintaining long-standing App Store, ad relevance, and web search evaluation projects.
The Compliance & Exam Gatekeeper

- →Predictable Workflows: Consistent weekly hours for contributors maintaining passing quality audit scores.
