- Provide clear, constructive feedback or corrections to help maintain overall data quality
- Track recurring error patterns and report them to the project team
- Ensure Trainer output meets the project's quality bar before final sign-off
- Escalate unclear cases (e.g., illegible images, ambiguous questions) to the project team for resolution
