How this comparison is built
Demand status comes from approved Relationship Graph evidence, not the legacy occupation specimen flag. Qualification, NQF and RPL remain current PathLens record context. Salary evidence stays source-specific and is not collapsed across evidence classes. Professional-body context comes from governed Master Data mappings. Funding links are pathway references, not eligibility decisions.
