MSR Project – German Culture Expert

• Identify realistic search-related failures where an AI model provides inadequate responses
• Create and test search queries
• Document what went wrong
• Write instructions and evaluation criteria for correct answers
• Evaluate local relevance, source quality, outdated information, language mismatches, incomplete answers, and region-specific inapplicability
• Test multiple queries before finding failures

• Research skills — ability to find and verify information from multiple sources; comfort navigating different websites, databases, and documentation
• Critical thinking — Can spot contradictions between sources, identify outdated information, and recognize when something doesn't apply to a specific locale/context
• Attention to detail — Can catch nuances in language, local variations (prices, regulations, requirements), and edge cases
• Problem-solving mindset — Comfortable iterating and testing when things don't work; doesn't get frustrated by trial-and-error
• Domain knowledge — Ideally someone with background in research, quality assurance, compliance, or similar work that requires precision and source verification
• Writing clarity — Can articulate instructions and rubrics clearly so others understand the logic behind their reasoning
• Locale knowledge — Deep familiarity with their specific locale (local regulations, business practices, cultural nuances) is valuable for spotting region-specific failures
• German-speaking expertise
