The page does not reconcile these descriptions. Confirm the project’s payment schedule.
US-resident example rates
Advertised rateHumanSignal shows $22–$45/hour for AI response evaluation, $15–$35/hour for data collection and $60–$180/hour for domain expert review.
US-resident examples; currency is not specified. The first two tracks list hourly figures but label payment per accepted task; expert work is hourly or per project. Confirm the project’s pay basis.
Location and access
Access to projects
Demand and location affect matching
Official information
HumanSignal matches contributors by skills, location and active demand; projects can impose location or workspace requirements.
Remote-work description; eligible countries are not listed.
Pay by location
Annotation rates depend on work location
Official information
The annotation intake says compensation varies with the project and the country or region where work is performed. Rates are communicated before each project.
This establishes location as a factor for that intake, without quantifying a country-only difference or extending the US example bands to these locations.

Project Emerald payment concerns
Undated
One Reddit poster described payment delays and offboarding concerns on Project Emerald. A reply said the commenter’s partner eventually received payment after weeks of delay.
One public thread with unknown exact dates and locations. The reply is secondhand; neither account verifies the poster’s claim that nobody was paid. Hidden replies were unavailable, and no prevalence estimate is supported.
