Applied Clinical Judgement connects qualified people to vetted platforms, and Sean Key personally vouches for those he refers. We’re paid a referral fee by the platform on a successful placement — never by you. The roles below are live today.

AI training work is organised by profession, task and software — not by topic or sector. Try your field (for example “nursing” or “Python”), clear the filters, or browse the categories further down the page. The always-open talent pools below are a good place to start.
What the work looks like
Reviewing financial analysis
Read an AI's financial reasoning — a valuation, a model, a recommendation — and flag what's wrong: the mispriced risk, the broken assumption, the missed driver.
Writing realistic problems
Draft the hard, real-world finance questions that separate competent analysis from confident-but-wrong, and model the right reasoning.
Judging AI answers
Compare two AI-written analyses and say which is stronger, and why.
Common questions
How much does it pay?
Hourly and contractor-based, varying with seniority and role. Every role card shows its pay band. You invoice as an independent contractor and choose your hours.
Can I do this alongside my current job?
Yes — the work is flexible and part-time by design. Check your employer's policy on outside work first; ACJ can't advise on that.
