• Ensure every task has appropriate difficulty and strong, verifiable evidence.

• Strong understanding of clue architecture and logical research chains.
• Ability to identify information leaks, undefined terms, and clues that are too broad or too narrow.
• Clear and fluent written English.
• Comfortable using search engines and LLM tools while independently fact-checking every AI-generated claim against the original source.
