- Write "golden" reference responses at experienced surety-professional quality.
- Grade AI-generated responses against structured rubrics for credit judgment, capacity reasoning, contract and bond-form accuracy, and default-resolution realism.

Qualifications
Must-Have

- Ability to read contractor financial statements and work-in-progress schedules and translate them into capacity and credit conclusions.
- Understanding of the three-party surety relationship and how indemnity, collateral, and subrogation differ from insurance loss payment.
- Excellent written reasoning, commercial and credit judgment, and high attention to detail.
- Ability to distinguish surety credit decisions from property-casualty risk underwriting and ordinary claim adjudication.
Preferred
- AFSB , CPCU , ARM , CPA , or comparable designation.
- Both underwriting and surety-claims experience.
- Experience with AIA and other standard bond forms, or with public-works statutory bond requirements.
