Method: role counts and 12-month growth come from PDL's org-chart data (v25) per company; cohort figures are headcount-weighted so small-team swings don't distort the function's story. A company with no reported growth for this function contributes headcount but not growth. Snapshot frozen as of the July 2026 harvest.
