The guide is educational material, not an official platform assessment. It does not contain leaked qualification questions and does not guarantee acceptance, paid projects, working hours, or earnings.
What does an AI evaluator need to learn?
An AI evaluator needs to translate instructions into observable requirements, locate evidence in a model response, judge how much each issue affects the outcome, and apply similar standards across similar cases. Subject-matter projects may also require verified expertise in fields such as finance, medicine, law, software, mathematics, or languages.
The guide organizes those general evaluation skills into the AI Work Prep framework:
- Requirements: identify what the task explicitly asks for before judging the answer.
- Evidence: connect each important judgment to a specific claim, omission, contradiction, or formatting choice.
- Severity: distinguish a limited defect from a problem that changes the requested outcome or creates serious risk.
- Calibration: use the applicable rubric and make comparable decisions in comparable cases.
What is included in the free PDF?
The eight-page guide includes:
- a four-step evaluation workflow;
- a requirements-extraction worksheet;
- a concise rationale template;
- a practical severity table;
- a decision log for calibration;
- an original comparison exercise;
- an annotated answer and readiness checklist;
- links to further reading about evaluation quality and safe job research.
The exercise is intentionally simple enough for a first session. It asks you to compare two fictional recommendations using only supplied facts, then justify which response better satisfies the request.
How should I use the guide?
Read the task once for context and a second time to mark its constraints. Complete the exercise before looking at the annotated answer. Compare the evidence and reasoning, not only the final choice. Then repeat the framework with original prompts in the AI Evaluation Practice Lab.
A useful rationale follows this structure: judgment, relevant criterion, observable evidence, and impact. The goal is not to memorize a preferred label. It is to produce a decision that another reviewer can understand and audit.
Is this an AI evaluator certification?
No. The guide is an independent educational resource from AI Work Prep. It is not a certification, hiring test, or official training document from any work platform. Actual instructions, rubrics, eligibility rules, and project availability vary.
Can I share the guide?
Yes. Share this page so readers receive the current version and the accompanying context. Do not remove the attribution, resell the PDF, or present it as official material from another organization.
