Empirical Layer

Aggregate Metrics & Distribution

Decomposing registry topology counts and empirical distribution across funnel barriers, candidate agency zones, and recurring patterns.

Epistemic Guard: Topology vs Population Prevalence

Counts displayed reflect the curated Knowledge Graph model topology. Convenience submission metrics must never be conflated with representative labor-market statistics without rigorous sampling calibration.

Strictly Acyclic DAG

Mechanisms:

4 Honest Baselines

Contradiction Patterns:

Named Double-Binds

Causal Loops:

Tarjan Graph SCCs

Mechanism Removability Distribution

Candidate Action (Endogenous): 6 (25%)

Intermediary Dependent: 7 (29%)

Exogenous (No Candidate Agency): 11 (46%)
