Methodology and limitations

RoleMath Labs publishes attributable public facts and explicit unknowns. It does not turn public records into credential rankings, salary promises, provider inventory, or evidence of demand.

Credential facts and currentness

Credential identity, exam version, eligibility, fees, lifecycle, renewal, and preparation facts retain sources and checked dates where available. Hard prerequisites, vendor-recommended background, and registration eligibility are distinct. A missing value means RoleMath did not find a current attributable value in the checked sources—not that the vendor confirmed the value is absent.

Stable identifiers and live URLs

route_identifier is a stable RoleMath data identity. It is not a live URL. rolemath_url is populated only when the exact identifier matched the 310-URL RoleMath sitemap observed on August 10, 2026. Twenty-eight records matched and 22 remain null. Sitemap presence does not prove Google indexing, impressions, traffic, or content quality.

Occupation context

Occupation statistics come from cited occupation-level sources such as BLS or O*NET. They describe the mapped occupation—not people who hold a certification—and do not prove the credential caused salary, hiring, placement, or employment outcomes. A credential-to-occupation mapping is context, not a universal employer requirement.

Provider observations

Published offer observations are restricted to Security+, CCNA, and AWS Solutions Architect Associate. Each is a dated observation from a provider-owned page. The fields cover the named offering, delivery format, published price and unit, voucher posture, source URL, and observation date. They do not establish current seats, future availability, provider willingness, a commercial relationship, fulfillment, or comprehensive market coverage.

Search acquisition baseline

The first complete Search Console export covers June 19 through August 8, 2026. Property totals are read from the chart export. Exposed-query totals are lower because Search Console suppresses anonymized queries. Page impressions are non-additive when multiple RoleMath URLs appear in one result. Query intent labels are deterministic planning metadata, not certainty about a searcher’s motive.

Deliberately excluded

Private readiness profiles, completeness scores, registry order, recommendation ranking, confidence calculations, review workflow, publication state, internal source IDs, private provider research, personal data, and commercial matching logic are excluded. The Fit Check makes no network request and writes no browser storage; its URL parameters can remain in browser history or shared links.

Use boundary: the dataset supports research and comparison. Recheck the cited first-party source before making a consequential purchase, eligibility, renewal, or hiring decision.
