Skill Ladder Explorer
Every skill priced by wage premium, experience gate, and portability across the economy.
Built from Project Ascent skills taxonomy: 35 skills across 393 metro areas, wage-decomposition validated at national R-squared 0.853. Ten of the 35 carry a wage premium that survives standard errors clustered at the occupation level; the other 25 are shown as structure without a price rather than dropped
Every skill carries an altitude, an experience slope and a portability score. Built from public federal data with zero licensed inputs, so it travels to any community without a vendor contract.
