The full build breakdown
Can a free weekly data asset earn links and citations?
In progressA test of whether original, regularly updated data earns more attention than another opinion post.
What you can learn
Whether a small company can become a cited source by publishing data nobody else has, and how long that takes.
What actually exists
A live Hiring Index (open marketing roles at startups, refreshed weekly) and an article on what 134 startup roles pay. These exist; no link or citation result is claimed yet. A quarterly report is planned for early January 2027 (Q4 2026), with a CSV, a cite box and dataset markup; the page keeps its weekly update.
The next decision
Fix the quarterly report date and record today's referring-link baseline.
