Canonical career, local occupation
Each PathGraph career has one stable identity. Country adapters map it to the relevant local occupation code and title, retaining mapping quality and review notes.
Facts first
Calculations explained. Limits left visible.
PathGraph separates official labour-market evidence from derived values, descriptive proxies and experimental comparison tools.
Official country inputs
Salary, employment, outlook, education and credential facts come from the declared country adapter. Missing, suppressed, stale and not-applicable states remain explicit.
Comparable presentation
Native weekly or hourly pay remains visible where available. Derived annual figures make the main comparison easier, with the calculation stated in the source note.
Experimental tools
Similarity and priority fit are PathGraph exploration tools. Similarity currently uses seeded O*NET-derived domains; priority fit also contains transparent editorial entry and scheduling bands. Neither is an official statistic or recommendation.
Publishing gates
Career pages require useful real data in at least two supported markets. Comparison pages must be approved, have sufficient overlapping metrics, useful internal links and a distinct decision purpose.
What PathGraph does not do
It does not predict individual outcomes, replace licensing advice, rate a career as universally good or bad, or silently borrow a statistic from another country.
