ECTS grade B is the next 25% after the top 10%, so the accurate phrasing
is 'top 35%'. The record's original value was right; the 'top 30%'
considered yesterday was the error, now removed rather than left as an
open question.
The field also now says never to narrow B to a point estimate. B is a
band, and quoting 'top 30%' or 'top 25%' overstates the standing - the
kind of small, checkable claim that costs credibility for no gain.

A Citadel application form asked for GPA and neither degree's
Abschlussnote existed anywhere in claims.json - only the M.Eng. thesis
grade. The single lead was an old CV extraction whose own provenance
note disclaims it and which already carries a known error, so it was not
safe to convert from. User confirmed both directly: M.Eng. 1.6 and
B.Eng. 2.4 on the German 1.0-4.0 scale.
US 4.0 equivalents recorded via the modified Bavarian formula, which
simplifies to 5.0 - G: 3.4 and 2.6. Both fields carry usage rules,
because a converted grade is easy to misuse. They are for application
forms and credential checks only, never to be presented as a natively
awarded GPA, and the German scale must always be stated alongside -
particularly for the bachelor, where the conversion makes a solid "gut"
read weaker to a US audience than it is.
Also flagged a percentile that does not agree with itself. The relative
grade is ECTS B, but this record said top 35%, the user said top 30%,
and ECTS B is formally the next 25% after the top 10%. Rather than pick
one, the field now says to check the certificate and notes that quoting
"ECTS grade B" alone is always safe. A specific percentile on an
application is exactly the kind of small number that a credential check
can contradict.
New grade_output_rule: neither grade belongs on a resume or in a cover
letter by default. Industry resumes omit grades, and the thesis 1.0 is
the only figure worth surfacing where academic performance is valued.

claims.json had zero hits for trading, finance or quant, so a real
capability could not legally reach any document: the file is the
highest-authority source and nothing outside it is claimable. Surfaced
while assessing the Citadel Securities Platform Engineer req (Zurich),
where domain fluency is exactly what was missing.
PP-1 is the self-built investing/signal platform: US-equity price,
fundamental and LLM-assisted sentiment ingestion, a long-only
cross-sectional residual 12-1 momentum book with ATR stop/trail and max
15 concurrent names, scheduled scan and backtest pipelines, web
dashboard and Telegram alerts. PP-2 is the Udacity AI for Trading
nanodegree. Two allowed-with-context skills reference both.
Written defensively, because this is the kind of entry a later run
inflates. Each carries an explicit forbidden list: no PnL, Sharpe,
return or backtest figure may EVER be quoted (none is verified); PP-1 is
single-user and self-hosted, so never distributed, scalable, production
or multi-user; neither implies professional quantitative, trading or
finance experience; the nanodegree is never an academic or quant
credential. Legitimate use is self-directed domain fluency plus an
end-to-end ingestion/backtest/alerting build outside work.
PP-1 is also the one claim where full-ownership verbs are correct - it
is genuinely solo, unlike the employer work that Scope Discipline
governs. Stated in the scope so the two rules do not collide later.
JSON valid, validator PASS, 9/9 tests pass.

Explore SDU Center for Energy Informatics PhD, Theme 2 (Predictive
Maintenance and Asset Management of Smart Energy Networks), Odense DK,
deadline 2026-08-20. JD scraped live via Playwright.
Verified the master's thesis against the source PDF rather than the
stored title alone:
- Vibration-based condition monitoring of CNC machine tools; features
are the dimensionless waveform, peak, pulse, margin and kurtosis
indices.
- Implemented a hybrid of rule-based reasoning and a 7-10-3 ANN.
- Evaluation measured throughput and latency, not model accuracy:
~500 SPS pipeline against 72.9 kSPS sensors.
- Corrects an earlier note in the same session: PSO was surveyed only
and never implemented. Recorded under thesis_limits alongside the
absence of real operational data and accuracy figures.
Also records the ECTS relative grade (B, top 35%), the existence of
English-language transcripts, and the concrete Bosch sensor-data types
(defect management records, wafer inspection images, PCM electrical
parameters) under BS-2.
Adds the enquiry email sent to Prof. Bo Norregaard Jorgensen, which
asks whether an industry candidate is viable and whether non-academic
letters of recommendation are accepted.

Aker BP ASA — Data Product Architect (FINN 469067315): archive the finalized
resume/CL sources, JD, session and critique. Submitted 2026-07-30 ahead of the
2026-08-02 deadline; logged as applied in the scout decision log and marked
SUBMITTED in Active Sessions.
KB: record Atlassian Compass as Swisscom's metadata/catalogue platform for data
products and lineage (user-confirmed 2026-07-29). Practitioner use only —
claims.json forbids claiming administration, rollout or ownership, and it is
explicitly not a substitute claim for Purview, Collibra or Alation.
Also: close out the Google Business Home session (no interview), extend the job
scout, and allow the job-board domains used during the Aker BP research.
