How this works
Pay disclosure counts postings that include any parsed salary; medians normalize hourly, daily and monthly figures to yearly and drop values that cannot be parsed with confidence.
Churn is measured by diffing live postings nightly - when a posting disappears, its full lifetime is recorded. Deleted postings leave no trace, so churn history starts when tracking began.
Buzzwords are counted per posting: rockstar/ninja/10x wording versus inclusive/collaborative language, as a share of all postings that month.
