Original posting from Mercor
What you’ll do: review paired AI-generated news/copy writing against the task brief and writing guide; judge for factual accuracy, hedging, and buried leads; select a preferred sample, write a one-line reason, apply tags; clear the calibration gate before live data.
Background: desk or copy editing experience at a major news organization; comfortable cutting copy to the point on deadline; catches a factual slip or buried lead on the first read.
Schedule: 5 hours/day, 5 business days for the pilot, ramping into an ongoing month-to-month engagement.
Quoted from Mercor’s public listing on 2026-10-15.We don’t edit platform copy; honest framing is in the title and the “what this actually is” block above.
