Benchmark set 6.2

This is the first entry in the record. It states what the set holds. From 6.3, each entry says what moved.

The set carries 1,038 benchmarked roles, reachable under 5,191 titles once variations are counted, across 140 regions and 10 sectors, built from 255 named sources.

Regional adjustment runs from 1.6 to 0.15. St. Barts in the French West Indies sits highest at 1.6. Cairo, Nairobi and Lagos sit lowest at 0.15. London reads 0.75 and Dubai 0.62, so for a number of roles the band outside the United States sits below the national baseline rather than above it.

Three of the ten sectors carry a defensible multi-year series: Property Operations, PE/VC, and Fintech and Corporate Finance. The other seven do not. Where there is no series the Brief says so on the page rather than drawing a line through two points.

Every band in the set is modeled. rouka does not republish licensed survey figures as printed. The sources are named on the Sources page.
