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.

Not enough industry baseline data yet to compute Location Quotient. This populates once the daily company re-enrichment cron tags this company's industry_canonical.

Salary Positioning
Pay vs the industry baseline (USD midpoint)
Midpoint of salary_min/salary_max converted to USD via simple 2024-snapshot FX. Values outside $10k–$1M filtered as parser noise.
⚠ Low disclosure — only 6% of Shield AI postings include a salary range (industry: 0%). The chart represents a small sample; treat ranges as indicative.
$110K $120K $130K $140K $150K All regions Company: $122,500 (n=17) United States Company: $143,750 (n=10) Unknown Company: $122,500 (n=7)

Market Position
Direct hiring competitors
Peer set is restricted to the same industry_canonical bucket and ranked by category-overlap (Jaccard on top 5 normalised categories). Each peer's hiring momentum is read from the same 14d / prior-14d windows.

No peers identified yet — once industry_canonical is populated for more companies (daily cron), this list fills out.

Strategic Themes
What this hiring is revealing

Coming soon.

Weekly LLM-synthesised brief — emerging capabilities, decaying capabilities, geographic shifts, seniority signals — drawn from the company's own posting tag distribution. Will populate once Phase 4 of the company-intelligence pipeline (OpenRouter long-context model) ships.

Methodology & Sources
How this is computed

Last enriched: unknown.

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.
