How to read this

• What counts. Postings seen on a company’s own career page in the last 7 days. A posting we have not been able to check for a week is left out, so a board we can no longer reach cannot pad the numbers.
• Signals, not verdicts. Age is one input. A real ghost-risk read also weighs reposting, whether a role names a concrete team and outcomes, its recency on the official ATS, and scam-channel signals. You get that full, reasoned verdict per posting inside oyapilot.
• The denominator. Age stats use only postings with a disclosed post date; some ATS connectors do not return one.
• Why there is no pay stat. We do not report salary disclosure here, because most ATS APIs do not expose pay even when the employer lists it. Reporting it would measure the connector, not the market.
• The full method. How we verify and score jobs
