Assess and critique AI-generated financial advice against defined rubrics, delivering actionable feedback to improve model performance and reliability.

Verify and review financial documentation to illustrate how UK consumers and their advisers manage filing deadlines, account types, and financial decisions.

Contribute to the ongoing development and refinement of evaluation rubrics and grading criteria for personal finance outputs.

Stay informed on regulatory changes in UK personal tax, pension, and savings legislation that impact project deliverables.
