PART 1 Reading material Once done reading this document, you should spend an hour closely reading through the following resources and doing any follow-on research you find necessary. This reading should serve as a helpful starting point for your deliverable but won’t necessarily have the “right” answers. Links to: HealthBench, by OpenAI and Mercor’s human data documentation Context Imagine that you are a new SPL who is about to start our first human data project with Macrosoft, a large enterprise technology company. Macrosoft is new to human data and leaving much of this 1-3 month project up to Mercor’s discretion. You need to instill confidence in them that Mercor can own this project end to end, and provide them with high quality data that can be used in their next training run. If we execute well, we have reason to believe that this account could grow into a mid-to-high 8 figure revenue stream. Ask Write a proposal for a project delivering expert-level post-training data, like that in HealthBench. Assume your audience is Macrosoft. This proposal should be a combination of memo, spreadsheet, and optionally, anything else you think would be useful. We encourage you to be concise and clear in your writing. The proposal should cover at least the following: What data type will you deliver? This could be prompt-rubric pairs as in HealthBench, pairwise ratings by experts, or any other type you think is suitable based on your research and intuition What domain will your data be in and why? What archetype of experts will you rely on to create this data and how will you source and vet them? Assume you have access to the Mercor platform but experts on it can’t work on the project. How will you manage the project to ensure high quality data is being produced? You should provide a ramp plan that outlines how you will scale the project (in terms of expert volume and any other details that would be helpful) over time. How will Mercor make money off this project? This includes billing model and target margin Notes With all these questions there is no correct answer, we want to evaluate your decision-making process, clarity of thought, and ability to handle uncertainty. While you’re welcome to use the Internet to learn more about industry standards, use of LLMs to generate the bulk of your deliverables is strictly prohibited. Before your presentation, you will email any deliverables you’ve come up with for members of the Ops team to read before engaging in a discussion (for both part 1 and 2)
