Published Reports
Vacancies, entry-level hiring, job quality, real wage movement and occupation-family employment change—kept separate from AI exposure ranks.
The current release publishes a within-market AI Exposure Rank, separate substitution and augmentation ranks, likely job pathways, demand context, and evidence confidence.
Archived documentation for the former V7 demand-adjusted structural score. Its formula and bands are not the current V8 public meanings.
V6 introduced the two-axis structural formula with 4-source exposure ensemble, human bottleneck, and explicit demand resilience. Superseded by V7.
Archived task-weighted shadow comparison retained inside the pre-V8 audit trail. It is not the current public score.
Shadow score is published. Promotion into the headline model still depends on validation and anchor-review sign-off.
Archived roadmap for the V5 research program that preceded the current V8 public contract.
Preserved for auditability alongside the published sidecars and promotion trail.
Archived promotion note for the former live V5 model, preserved so the V7 release can still be compared against its immediate predecessor and retained adjunct layers.
Current validation snapshot: structural 2/2, realized 2/4. The retained V4.3 baseline and promotion-comparison artifacts remain published.
Annual wage context for occupations in the two highest AI exposure bands, with sector breakdowns and explicit limits on what the totals mean.
Based on V8 scoring, updated 2026-07-17
Initial V3 scoring results: 562 occupations scored across exposure, bottleneck, and market resilience. Key findings on paradox roles, highest-risk occupations, and theory vs practice gaps.
Archived V3-era report. Its terminology and score definitions are not current V8 meanings.

Quarterly Briefing
What changed
- No occupations changed risk band in the latest frozen comparison.
- Professionals, Managers, Executives & Technicians saw the strongest vacancy pickup while Production & Transport Operators, Cleaners & Labourers saw the sharpest vacancy cooling in the live labour monitor.
- Structural movers remain limited in the latest snapshot comparison.
Why it matters
- Clerical, Sales & Service Workers now reads as deteriorating, which means structural pressure is landing on a weaker live labour backdrop for that family of work.
- Production & Transport Operators, Cleaners & Labourers still reads as strong, so not every high-exposure occupation faces the same near-term labour conditions.
What to watch
- Watch whether rising retrenchment counts persist into the next quarter rather than treating one quarter as a trend.
- Watch whether official demand lists change meaningfully in the next release cycle.
- Read snapshot movers together with the live monitor, not as standalone proof of labour-market deterioration.
