Why humans help
Where judgment beats automation for this task.
Local verification is useful when online data is stale, incomplete, or impossible for AI to confirm.
Map listings lag reality by months. A person standing outside the door knows whether the business is open today.
How to scope it
Four things to include so the first task is easy to approve.
One clear goal
Say what the worker is checking and what counts as wrong. One URL, one document, one list.
Source material or links
Attach the exact inputs: the page, the file, the transcript, the criteria.
Deliverable and deadline
Name the format you want back (table, notes, screenshots) and when you need it.
An example of acceptable work
Link a sample deliverable so the worker knows the bar. Keep the first task small so approval is straightforward.
Suggested payout ranges
Starting points only. Final payouts should match complexity, turnaround, tools, and worker experience.
| Scope | Suggested payout |
|---|---|
| One address, photos and notes | $25–$45 |
| Several addresses in one area | $45–$100 |
| Recurring route or detailed condition report | $100+ |
