INTRODUCTION

Human Standard Assessor (HSA) Application

Human Standard Assessors play a critical role in the Human Standard™ verification process.

Each Assessor completes a full read of assigned works and evaluates authorship characteristics under a structured framework that integrates:

  • creator disclosure
  • AI-assisted screening
  • human judgment

Assessments are captured through a required post-read survey, which forms part of the certification process.

Role Expectations

  • Each assignment requires a complete, start-to-finish read of the work
  • Assessments must be based on independent human judgment
  • Use of AI tools to screen, summarize, or analyze the book content is strictly prohibited and may result in removal from the HSA pool
  • Assessors are expected to provide clear, structured, and objective input

Assignment Model

  • Books are posted as opportunities within your selected genre(s)
  • Each opportunity includes:
    • Genre classification
    • Approximate length (word or page count)
    • Assessor fee
    • Deadline for survey completion
  • Assignments are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis
  • Only one active book may be under review at a time per Assessor
