Method

How PathLens works

A block with no source is omitted, not guessed.

1

Use official sources

Occupation, demand, qualification, salary and pathway evidence.

2

Match on OFO code

The six-digit code is the join key.

3

Label salary match quality

Exact six-digit match, broader proxy or unavailable.

4

Do not predict vacancies

Demand evidence is not a jobs-near-me feed.

5

Show defensible geography

National first, province where the source supports it.

6

Keep sources and dates

Every claim should be traceable.
