Behind the median
Everyone here with an Eng Scorer read, placed in their caliber tier.
- 8%Strong or solid4 people
- 43%Emerging22 people
- 49%Unproven25 people
51 of the 51 people here carry an Eng Scorer tier.
Exceptional and strong are the top two of the five tiers. Fewer than 3 of the 51 people here with a read sit in them, which is too few to print as a count. A tier is the band an Eng Scorer caliber score falls in, so this is the same measurement as the median on the caliber card, opened up. A tier holding fewer than 3 people is printed together with the one next to it, because a bucket that small is a person rather than a pattern.

11 of the 51 people here whose profile was checked for public accounts. An account the check did not find reads the same as no account, so this is a floor rather than a census.
Across the 325 companies on the map that can show this figure, the median is 38%.

Where they live now, from the profile as it reads today, not where they sat while they worked at US Navy: a metro here does not mean the company has an office in it. The lower strip is the same metros across the whole map, for comparison.
