How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a drain technician already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
