If your go-to-market still leads with department names, you are selling the wrong product. Today's Job Index has 2 new roles. The usable story is which atomic skills show up across those postings.

Skill counts from the fresh export#

Window 2026-08-21 = 2 new roles and 30 publishable skills. We refuse to treat broad soft-skill tags as demand proof.

Atomic skills with role mentions in this crawl:

Figma is today's public lead - 2 roles - after the 7-day category cooldown. Cybersecurity may be louder by raw count (18 roles) but is not the public headline today.

Capability is the product being bought#

Fractional and full-time buyers both shortcut to 'can you do X this month?'. The index is a daily X-list. Pick from it, ship proof, and stop arguing with keyword filters.

Your next 7 days against this board#

Start with the loudest publishable skill you can honestly demo. Ship something small enough to finish this week. Attach it to a room that already needs it. That loop is the product; the title is packaging.

Close#

Ship the proof, then step into Rocket where capability-first people already gather - Ember can stress-test the story before you send it.

Methodology#

Based on a daily crawl of public job listings, snapshotted 2026-08-21. Figures reflect what's actually posted that day, not modeled projections.
