How to cite: quote the figure with its date and link this page. EngAI Signal is built from public job postings, 1,200+ companies tracked. How the data is collected
A mention is not adoption, and not a requirement. A posting can name a tool the team uses, is trying out, or lists as nice to have. These are counts of job postings, not of users or seats.
