Project Zion — STEM QA Reviewer (Electrical Engineering)

Review STEM problems and simulated research environments for quality as training data. You will evaluate task prompts, ground truth answers, grading criteria, and model rollout transcripts across two review types:

Project A — Simulated Research Review: Assess simulated-research environments (seed + 3+ agent trajectories) for scientific realism, construction quality, and diversity.

Project B — STEM QA Review: Evaluate individual STEM problems for task clarity, ground truth correctness, grading soundness, and training data suitability. Verdict: Accept / Revise / Reject.

Requirements
