Methodology

What To Do Next

Offset potential: Medium Separate from the core score. This estimates how much demand, redesign room, and transition support could cushion pressure.

Teacher aide has some offset potential, but it depends on transition pathways holding up in practice and on workers clearing the main switching frictions.

Demand support: Low Transition support: High Reallocation room: Low Switching friction: High

What helps

  • Nearby moves and published transition support look reasonably strong.

What could slow it down

  • Current demand support is thin, so offsets may take longer to show up.
