Synthetic calculation example
Created or expanded jobs minus displaced jobs
The dial position is the net movement divided by the fixed display range. The full component values remain visible so the direction never replaces the evidence.
- 01Register sources
Document ownership, licence, coverage and limitations.
- 02Classify movement
Separate job displacement from creation or expansion without predicting individual outcomes.
- 03Normalise indicators
Use a versioned transformation and document missing data, weights and uncertainty.
- 04Calculate whole jobs
Preserve signed whole-job counts and derive the net direction from one fixed range.
- 05AI review and controlled release
Use AI-assisted source checks plus automated validation before release. AI can still overlook context or return incorrect results.
Interpretation
What the dial does — and does not say
It communicates a broad balance of evidence and never forecasts a person’s job.
Labels and signed values carry the meaning, so colour is never the only signal.
Every published reading will reference a methodology version and visible limitations.
