The number of open job postings increased.

## When it fires

<Card title="Trigger condition" icon="bolt">
  `job_count` increases between snapshots.
</Card>

## Magnitude

Bucketed on percentage change in `job_count`.

Buckets are assigned from the percentage change between snapshots:

| Bucket     | Condition                   |
| ---------- | --------------------------- |
| `low`      | 1% ≤ \|delta\_pct\| \< 5%   |
| `moderate` | 5% ≤ \|delta\_pct\| \< 15%  |
| `high`     | 15% ≤ \|delta\_pct\| \< 30% |
| `hyper`    | \|delta\_pct\| ≥ 30%        |

## Why it matters

More open roles means more spending intent across the board. Hiring is one of the most direct expressions of budget, and rising open headcount often precedes tooling purchases by 30 to 90 days as new hires need to be equipped.

## How to read it
