Scout triage 2026-10-20 - 109 new rows screened; 23 JDs read in full and logged with the failing line quoted; 4 Google reqs screened 10-21. One new maybe (Google Senior SRE, YouTube ML); SBB Team Ampere skipped on the user's Niveau rule (J). Google Staff Software Engineer, Shopping Graph (Feeds Infra), Zurich - Chosen as the single Google application after comparing all live Zurich reqs. Evidence Fit 70, Stretch (Staff-level technical leadership is the defining responsibility and only Adjacent), hard gate PASS, channel weak. - Resume generated, critiqued (Document Quality 84), edited for leadership framing, finalized and submitted 2026-10-21. No cover letter. - The summary line "sets the technical direction for the data products of his domains" rests on the user's 2026-10-21 statement and is deliberately NOT in claims.json (user request); recorded in the session Edit History. - Registry: new applied entry; the Commerce entry is marked superseded. KB: software design and architecture - User-confirmed 2026-10-21: design and architecture of the ingestion and inference scripts at Bosch (2020-22) and of data products at Swisscom; the two together exceed three years. Recorded on BS-1, BS-2 and SW-7, with `designed` added to the BS-1/BS-2 verbs, scoped to his own scripts and the inference integration (the first patch over-extended it to the data services and was trimmed the same session).

Baseline is 3 homeoffice days/week; fewer days require a clear overall improvement. Note: claims.json has no shell-scripting entry, so Bash is omitted from Skills although the JD names it and ten years of Debian admin plus Ansible work plainly involve it - same shape as the Ansible/Linux gaps found 2026-08-27.

Current targeting notes
- SBB Niveau K/L is SBB-specific. The reported approximate CHF 145k K ceiling is not a salary anchor for other employers.
- Assess headroom and total package: working time, holidays, office days, commute and verified benefits. Never decline a Thun-area role on salary band alone.
- Childcare-cost coverage at the Swiss Army/Kdo Cy remains unverified; confirm before pricing it.
- Norway remains open selectively; the Swiss compensation threshold does not automatically apply there.
- An interview does not prove how an ATS or recruiter evaluated the application. No causal inference from a single conversion.
- User clarification 2026-10-06: current baseline is 3 homeoffice days/week. Fewer days are acceptable only for a clear overall improvement over the current role; assess total package and commute early, with no automatic rejection based on office days alone. User expects such improvements mainly at FAANG or comparable employers, without restricting the search to them.
