  • Review model-generated work involving:

    • Derivatives pricing

    • Time-series analysis

    • Portfolio construction

    • Risk modeling

  • Identify mathematical errors, methodological weaknesses, and technical inconsistencies.

  • Create expert demonstrations showing professional approaches to quantitative finance workflows.

  • Develop demonstrations based on your own experience in quantitative research, trading, or risk modeling.

  • Rank and label model responses against established quantitative best practices.

  • Assess whether AI-generated analysis demonstrates sound quantitative reasoning.

  • Provide clear and structured evaluations of model responses.
