What this guide helps with
Different answers come from different evidence. Aggregate counts describe the whole filtered inventory; sampled listings describe visible or inspected listings; job-source facts come from the individual listing.
Decision guides
How puntWork labels source data
What partner feeds, sampled listings, aggregate counts, and job-source facts mean on puntWork pages.
What to trust most
Full-scope counts are strongest for market size, city alternatives, and category mix. Sampled text is useful for requirements like language, shifts, licences, remote work, and training, but should stay labeled as sampled.
What puntWork should not do
puntWork should not convert sampled signals into full-market claims, and should not hide missing source fields behind confident wording.
