Disproportionate Skills
What this company is over-indexed on vs industry peers
Location Quotient = (this company's % of postings with skill X) ÷ (peer industry's % of the same skill). Values above 1.0 mean over-indexed. Peer baseline excludes this company itself, so a dominant employer doesn't collapse to ~1.0. Skills with fewer than 3 occurrences here are excluded.

Methodology & Sources
How this is computed

Last enriched: 2026-03-20.

Company-data sources: wikidata, github, news

Hiring aggregates run live against D1; cached at the edge for up to 24 hours. AI-exposure scores derive from O*NET 30.2 occupation taxonomy crossed with the Anthropic Economic Index 2026-03-24 release.

Caveats: salary parser uses 2024 FX snapshot rates; long-tail location strings may bucket as "Unknown"; Location Quotient excludes companies with fewer than 5 indexed roles to keep ratios stable. Salary disclosure under 20% triggers a warning on the salary chart.
