How this was computed
Counts derive from the Skillenai jobs index over the 90 days ending 2026-10-03. Skills are resolved against the Skillenai canonical taxonomy, so the same entity is counted whether a posting writes 'Python', 'Python 3', or 'python'. Role prevalence divides postings mentioning CMMC by all postings for each role in the same window, ranking roles with at least 20 postings. Role distribution divides each role’s CMMC postings by all CMMC postings, including postings without a role. Shares need not sum to 100% for the displayed roles. Pages refresh weekly (or daily for the top-50 most-requested skills). An adjusted trend is not shown because comparable posting coverage is insufficient.
