Help Build the First
Real‑World Benchmark
for White‑Collar AI

Shape the future of AI in business practice.

Why Your Contribution Matters

AI systems ace tidy lab tests yet still struggle with the messy, contextual work you tackle every day—pricing a deal, structuring a partnership, forecasting sales from imperfect data. By donating anonymized artifacts from genuine business tasks, you help create BizBench, the first benchmark that measures how well AI agents perform real multi‑step knowledge‑work workflows.

Your contributions close the "disciplinary gap" between AI research and business reality that experts highlight as the next frontier for progress. Only practitioners like you understand the nuanced, contextual challenges that make real business work fundamentally different from academic test cases.

Recognition & Impact

Join the select group of business professionals advancing AI science. We will gratefully acknowledge all qualified contributors (with your consent) in the final research article and public releases of BizBench—recognizing you as an integral part of the project's success.

How It Works

1. Create Profile

Share your professional background and Excel expertise to help us understand your business domain knowledge

2. Design Tasks

Create real-world business tasks with evaluation criteria that challenge AI systems in meaningful ways

3. Submit Solutions

Upload your Excel work and provide expert evaluation scores to build the benchmark dataset

Data Stewardship

Every submission is passed through a multi‑step pipeline that strips or hashes names, emails, account numbers, addresses, and any other personally identifiable information. Our team then reviews each artifact to verify that no sensitive details remain before it enters the research corpus.
