CO-039 · AI-era skill taxonomy
We have an opinion about which skills are rising.
Every quarter PRAGYA refreshes the taxonomy against three signals: (i) recruiter-search query telemetry on ProveIQ; (ii) GCC hiring-role share; (iii) a public AI-era-relevance score. When a score changes, it shows up here with a dated reason.
