- Context & Interview Co-Design: Co-designing interview workflows and validating context files, including player projections, roster exports, and customized scoring rule sets.
- Grounding Golden Assets: Verifying scoring formulas, standings and playoff logic, draft-value calculations, and validation lists across flagship cases like fantasy draft boards and game scoreboards.
- Quality Sign-Off & Verification: Reviewing and signing off on AI-generated outputs to ensure complete alignment with professional sports and fantasy industry practice.
