An AI model assigns each project exactly one role from its title and required skills – the main requirement – or marks it as not an engineering project. The skills come from the AI analysis of the project descriptions; spelling variants are merged into one skill. A skill counts as typical for the role when its projects mention it at least three times as often as engineering projects overall. The figures are updated every month.
