    Engineering#86Limited confidence · Estimated0.88× career presence
    How estimated

    Evidence-adjusted career presence. The 0.88× headline is a modelled rating, not an observed employment rate.

    Raw observed/expected ratio: 0.44×. The same continuous evidence adjustment applies to every school: 1 + evidence weight × (raw ratio − 1). Evidence weight: 0.206. Small expected cohorts and disagreement between cohort definitions reduce this weight. Traditional reputation does not change a direct rating.

    With alternative stability settings, this rating ranges from 0.78× to 0.94×. This is a model-sensitivity check, not a confidence interval or range of hiring odds.

    Position ranges group the model's ordering for readability; they are not statistical confidence intervals. Traditional reputation is a proxy, not evidence of placement in this industry or programme availability.
