Population
  The 105 Palantir rows with in_page_stats = true among the 725 postings
  from 121 employers counted on the salary, job titles, locations and
  travel pages (rows with in_page_stats = true in fde-postings-2026-10-24.csv
  in this folder). Public Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and Workday job boards,
  pulled October 24, 2026. Recruiting agencies and duplicates removed.

Method
  Built by scripts/build-palantir-aggregate.py from
  fde-postings-2026-10-24.json.
  Title families: keyword match on the posting title (Deployment Strategist;
  Forward Deployed Software / Infrastructure / AI / Reliability / Enablement /
  Security Engineer; Mixed Reality).
  Government vs commercial: title text only (government, USG or federal vs
  commercial). Titles that match neither are unlabeled.
  New grad and internship: title text only. The dataset intern flag is false
  for every Palantir row in this snapshot.
  Travel: upper bound = largest number in the stated percentage string.
  Normalized bands collapse en-dash and hyphen variants of the same range.
  US pay: us_location true, USD range posted, first range on the row.
  Posted ranges are not offers.

Caveats
  Open postings on public boards on one day, not headcount and not a census.
  These listings were live on the October 24, 2026 snapshot. The ATS
  posted_or_updated field (especially on Lever) can show dates years earlier
  for evergreen listings; it is not a posting-date range.
  All-employer remote comparison uses the published locations-index figure
  (199 of 725, 27.4%), not the narrower postings remote_listed field (191,
  26.3%). Palantir is 0 under both.
  FDE Dispatch is not affiliated with Palantir. Figures come from Palantir
  public job postings.
