Official baseline
Published outcome and earnings data where available, labelled as baseline evidence rather than current hiring truth.
Education and labour-market decision evidence for families comparing university programmes, career pathways, employer access, and credential depth.
Course outcomes, accreditation, entry profile, and pathway depth.
Graduate roles, salary bands, hiring windows, and skill demand.
Campus, placement, training route, and early-career programme evidence.
Cost, time, credential dependency, and cross-market alternatives.
Evidence model
PathSignal is being built to separate what is officially reported, what is currently visible in the labour market, and what can be traced to real employer-access evidence.
Published outcome and earnings data where available, labelled as baseline evidence rather than current hiring truth.
Graduate and entry-level job market signals from authorised, public, or licensed sources.
Career fairs, placement employers, training routes, and early-career programme signals mapped to pathway questions.
Plain-language explanation of evidence strength, data gaps, costs, credentials, and cross-market tradeoffs.
Current scope
PathSignal is currently a research-stage project. The first evidence model focuses on UK university and programme decisions, with accounting and finance pathways used as an early proof area because they expose outcome, credential, employer, and cost tradeoffs clearly.
