The assignment behind it
What a released software engineering report shows
Extend an unfamiliar system with an assistant that will do the whole job. That is the situation a software engineering candidate is put in, and the report is six findings about how they handled it, each one anchored to a moment a reader can open: a capture timestamp, an assistant transcript turn, an artifact diff, or a debrief answer.
A profile carries those findings and their evidence, at an address the candidate chose. What it does not carry is any summary of the person, which is why it is worth reading: there is no single number to skim instead.
The benchmark behind the findings is derived from live postings mapped to SOC 15-1252, Software Developers, and re-derived each quarter. Both instruments behind it, and the term list each one uses, are published on the Judgment Index.
What a profile does not carry
No score, no rank, no percentile, no letter grade and no follower count. None of those exist anywhere in the profile, and none is coming: a number standing for a person is the one thing this product does not publish.
No photograph and no name unless the candidate adds one. The handle is theirs to choose, and a handle nobody has taken, a private profile and a withdrawn profile all render the same way, so the address bar cannot be used to enumerate who has taken an assessment.
The occupation, in the posting corpus
What SOC 15 looks like in 2,151,213 postings
15,569
postings in the AI-usage cohort carry a role tag mapped to SOC 15, Computer & Mathematical. Tags are free text, so a posting can carry more than one and these do not partition the cohort.
34,743
active postings carry an explicit AI-usage requirement on the extracted-skill instrument, out of 2,151,213 measured on 2026-08-11. The raw-text instrument reads several times higher; both ends publish.
53.9%
of the 34,403 postings the occupation map read on 2026-08-11 map to an occupation code at all. The rest is published as an unclassified bucket, and no figure on this page is presented as covering it.

Published profiles
No one has published a software engineering profile yet. A profile appears here once a candidate publishes a released report, and only once every one of the six dimensions has been written.
