Re: what the ???
I am thinking about it, I woulden't want to use my ability for purposes of greed though
Well, don't do it for greed, then. You don't have to take the money.
Do it for science. I mean, if we could harness the power of genuine retrocognition - although I think "postscience" (antonym of "prescience") is a better word - it would revolutionize archaeology, paleontology, anthropology, criminal forensics, all kinds of stuff.
The first step there would be proving that you could do it in a controlled environment with verifiable results. That's what the JREF would set up for you.

Re: what the ???
You give them the parameters of how you have to operate to do what you say you can do, and they'll devise a fair test. Or you could contact them by email, or post on their forums, and they could give you an idea of what a fair test would constitute.
In the meantime, you should research topics in psychology including such areas as "confirmation bias", etc.
