• Audit AI‑generated output, create a failure taxonomy, and produce gold‑standard reference documents.
• Write explicit, testable specifications and develop a Document Quality Score covering structural integrity, visual hierarchy, consistency, readability, template compliance, and editability.
• Serve as standards owner, adjudicating disputes, reviewing new templates, and representing document quality in product and model‑evaluation decisions.

• Deep expertise in professional document production (legal, publishing, technical or editorial design) with a track record of setting standards.
• Expert command of Word‑style structure, including style‑linked numbering, multilevel lists, sections, headers/footers, TOCs, cross‑references, and tracked changes.
