• Minimum 1 year of experience in any professional role;
• Logical thinking, fact-checking and reasoning abilities;

Project time expectations

For this project, tasks are estimated to require around 10-20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed workload, and applies only while the project is active. Tasks must be submitted by the deadline and meet the listed acceptance criteria to be accepted.

Compensation

Paid per accepted task. Your rate depends on the qualification tier you reach and how efficiently you complete tasks — up to the equivalent of $20/hr . Because payment is per task, a faster pace raises your effective hourly rate. Keep in mind, quality standards must be maintained, regardless of speed.
