The work

You will provide legal reasoning for an AI training project focused on energy and utilities regulation. Your work will help improve how AI systems handle complex regulatory questions.

You will explain the reasoning behind each conclusion, identify issues that are unsettled or fact-dependent, and make clear when jurisdictional disputes could change the result. You will also review other contributors’ work, flag unclear scenarios, and deliver accurate work on schedule.

• Analyze scenarios involving rate design, tariff structures, market structure, and compliance obligations.
• Use examples and practices connected to FERC, state public utility commissions, and ISO/RTO markets.
• Review and validate legal analysis for accuracy, clarity, and sound reasoning.
• Document the reasoning behind an answer, not just the conclusion.
• Flag ambiguous or poorly framed scenarios instead of resolving them silently.
