The team

seats filled
Students run the work and make the calls. The roles are what each person is responsible for, not job titles. The site and the lab are operated by RemitBridge Labs, a Washington nonprofit corporation.

Decides what the lab works on, runs the leadership team, handles community partnerships, and checks that what the site claims matches what we actually found.
5 seats are open
These roles are defined and nobody is in them. They are listed so the shape of the lab is honest about where the gaps are, not to suggest a team that exists.
- Research lead Open · Systems teamOwns the methodology and the literature review, designs the benchmarks, and keeps the runs reproducible.
- Technical lead Open · Systems teamHandles the code for RemitBench and TrueCost, plus testing, documentation, and keeping the data we store to a minimum.
- Community programs lead Open · Community education teamSets up the listening sessions and workshops, coordinates volunteers, and looks after people who come to a session needing help.
- Language access lead Open · Language teamFinds translators and community reviewers, keeps terms consistent across languages, and makes sure nothing goes out unreviewed.
- Evaluation lead Open · Evaluation teamWrites the before-and-after surveys, tracks the numbers, writes down the limitations, and puts together the annual report.
The adult advisory group
Three areas get reviewed by adults before anything is published. They are not in charge of the lab and they do not assign the work. They are there to check the facts, flag anything that could put a participant at risk, and tell us when a claim is bigger than the evidence behind it.
- Financial economicsNo reviewer yetChecks the cost models, the figures, and any claim about what a transfer costs.
- Systems architectureNo reviewer yetChecks the benchmark design, the code, and whether a result could be reproduced.
- Community educationNo reviewer yetChecks the workshop material and anything written for people outside the field.
