Build a Payroll Revision Attribution Desk
Separate new payroll growth from revisions to earlier months. Give an economist an auditable release-to-release account of why the labor-market narrative changed.
What you are building
Two previously reported payroll levels change from 100 and 105 to 102 and 104. Together, those revisions add one unit. Build a release comparison that separates revisions to old months from the estimate for the new month. Let an editor trace each change to its release before writing the headline. The starter numbers are fictional.
Rules
A revision is not evidence that an earlier release was deceptive. No fabricated records, source citations, professional endorsements, or expert-adjudication claims. No future-data leakage into dated decisions, model fitting, or historical valuation inputs. No unauthorized payments, account restrictions, regulatory filings, or production changes. No automated appraisal certification, tax-compliance determination, or unsupported fraud accusation. No concealed uncertainty or silently invented inputs required for a numerical conclusion.
How work is evaluated
100-point weighted review with safety gates. Visible starter cases do not establish full application correctness.
An archived-release alignment pipeline. A revision bridge with source-linked narrative sentences. Runnable local application, setup commands, and a dependency lockfile. Versioned input data, data dictionary, acquisition instructions, and rights notes. Calculation traces, source references, assumption records, and exported review artifacts. A deterministic baseline and tests for normal, incomplete, contradictory, and failure-recovery cases. A recorded complete workflow with a reproducible manifest and explicit limitations.
Datasets
Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.
How submissions are scored
Learning goals
Align reference months across two releases.
Calculate prior-month revisions separately from new-month growth.
Flag benchmark or definition changes.
Export a release bridge and annotated research memo.
Resources
3 attached datasets, including two visible synthetic starter cases. MAC-01 and MAC-03 prototype release records. Not real employment data. The fixture ZIP supplies synthetic exercise inputs. It does not supply independently verified real-world records.
