How these map to the role

These are operations cases: an ambiguous question about an annotation pipeline you frame into metrics and a measurement, and a recommendation you defend. Two things recur — quality has no clean ground truth (measure it with agreement and gold), and annotators differ in skill and are learning over time, so causal reads are confounded.

Each answer is a coaching walkthrough: a Sample answer (clarify → approach → a simulated back-and-forth → a clear call), then a Deep dive with illustrative example, then a Grading rubric.
