Quality Framework: Recommend improvements to task design, rubric structure, and evaluation criteria based on statistical findings
Stakeholder Communication: Present insights to data labeling experts and technical teams

Statistical Expertise: Strong foundation in statistical analysis, hypothesis testing, and pattern recognition
Programming: Proficiency in Python (pandas, scipy, matplotlib/seaborn) or R for data analysis
Data Analysis: Experience with exploratory data analysis and creating actionable insights from complex datasets
AI/ML Familiarity: Understanding of LLM evaluation methods and quality metrics
Tools: Comfortable working with Excel, data visualization tools (Tableau/Looker), and SQL
