How this is measured

Live basis. Entry level and director and above are the seniority classification applied at extraction. Each role is read on whether it involves AI, whether AI sits at the centre of the work, and whether the role is accountable for what the model produces. Each measure's share uses the measure before it as its base. A cell under 30 specifications prints as counts; under 150, its count prints beside its share. This page serves two audiences from one finding: an early-careers lead reads a hiring problem, a university reads a formation problem, and both arrive at the same figures.
