## Magnitude

Bucketed on the percentage-point shift in senior posting share.

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

Senior hiring often precedes strategic shifts and new initiatives. When a company tilts its hiring toward leadership roles, it's building out decision-making capacity, often ahead of a new product line, a funding round, or a market expansion.
