• Comfortable handling multiple registers and varieties, including formal Persian, conversational Persian, Iranian Persian, Dari, Tajik-related variation, professional, educational, and public-facing Persian, depending on audience and project requirements.
• High attention to detail when spotting subtle meaning shifts, awkward literal translations, incorrect ezafe usage, unnatural register, hallucinated claims, Arabic- or English-influenced phrasing, or culturally mismatched wording.

• Optimize AI Performance: Evaluate and rank AI outputs to improve fluency, correctness, tone match, register consistency, meaning preservation, terminology quality, script handling, RTL formatting, and cultural appropriateness.
• Ensure Model Integrity: Detect unsafe or misleading content, factual hallucinations, bias, mistranslations, ambiguity, policy-risk language, and culturally inappropriate phrasing; validate reliability across use cases.
