The taxonomy covers 21 named functions plus other/unclear, and entry, mid-career, senior specialist, management, executive leadership or unclear levels. Classification uses complete published descriptions. Tags carry a version and evidence hash, so only new or changed listings need reclassification. A blind review by a separate model on 300 stratified listings agreed with 97.9% of primary function labels and 92.8% of primary level labels, and retained 98.0% of the reviewer’s plausible function assignments. The broad filter retained all 94 promising Sales results and all 82 earlier Product results in full-catalog comparisons. These are observed checks against model judgments, not a guarantee for every applicant.
