Data Auditor — Professional License Regulation Requirements Spreadsheet (United States)

Title: Data Auditor — Professional Licensing & Requirements Spreadsheet (Excel, 50 States) Overview We have a completed research spreadsheet covering continuing education (CE) requirements for licensed professionals across all 50 U.S. states. The data was collected by a human researcher and includes license types, renewal cycles, CE hour requirements, mandatory specialty topics, and regulatory citations. The spreadsheet has multiple tabs and approximately 600+ rows. We need someone to audit and clean this data — not to re-research it from scratch, but to review what exists, identify inconsistencies and structural problems, and standardize the formatting so the data is reliable and internally consistent. What the work involves: Review each sheet for accuracy against the cited source URLs Identify and flag cells where notes, qualifications, or caveats are embedded inside data fields (e.g., asterisk annotations mixed into numeric values) Standardize inconsistent formatting across equivalent columns Resolve duplicate or misaligned column headers Flag any data that appears outdated, ambiguous, or unsupported by the cited source Deliver a clean version of the spreadsheet with a brief audit log documenting what was changed and why Redesigning the columns or categorization structure for clarity, filtering, ranking, and systemic understanding. WHAT THE END RESULT SHOULD LOOK LIKE: The cleaned spreadsheet will serve as the authoritative source for future product and content development. Clear organization, consistent formatting, and accurate citations to government administrative code are the primary deliverables. The end result should answer the business goals and objectives. What we are looking for Someone with demonstrated experience auditing regulatory or compliance data — ideally in healthcare, legal, or professional licensing contexts. You must be comfortable reading administrative code citations and verifying data against government websites. Attention to detail and accuracy matter more than speed. We will ask for a small paid sample task before awarding the full contract. Engagement Fixed price Estimated 1–3 months depending on pace Regular check-ins via Zoom NDA required
