<abstract>Correct answers to math problems don’t reveal if students understand concepts or just memorized procedures. Conversation-Based Assessment (CBA) addresses this through AI dialogue, but reliable scoring requires costly pilots and specialized expertise. Our Criteria Development Platform (CDP) enables pre-pilot optimization using synthetic data, reducing development from months to days. Testing 17 math items through 68 iterations, all achieved our reliability threshold (MCC \ensuremath\geq 0.80) after refinement – up from 59% initially. Without refinement, 7 items would have remained below this threshold. By making reliability validation accessible, CDP empowers educators to develop assessments meeting automated scoring standards.</abstract>
