What we got wrong, and fixed.

Updated 16 September 2026

Every figure on this site is computed from live postings, and the rules that compute them are changed whenever a reader or a check finds one wrong. This is the record. Newest first.

7 September 2026 — Job pages and the pay filter

Was: Eight listings were tagged "commission only" while showing a base salary range, and one Stryker posting offering either a base or commission-only pay was tagged commission-only.

Now: A range on a commission-only posting is labeled on-target earnings, and a posting that offers a base as an option is not tagged commission-only.

7 September 2026 — /why

Was: Said every role on the board was a salaried, W-2 position with a base.

Now: Most roles are salaried; commission-only roles are on the board too, tagged, and can be filtered in or out.

7 September 2026 — /about

Was: Said the same role never appears twice. Ninety-one requisitions were listed twice, from two hiring platforms, mostly Danaher and Takeda.

Now: A posting is recognized by its application link and by employer, title and city, and the duplicates were merged.

7 September 2026 — llms.txt

Was: The pay-transparency and degree figures were typed by hand and had drifted fifteen points from the live report.

Now: The figures are read from the same data as the reports, with the date they describe.

5 September 2026 — The board

Was: 155 Arthrex pages that read "this is not a job posting" — links to independent sales agencies — were listed as jobs.

Now: A page that says it is not a job posting is refused, and the stored ones were removed.

5 September 2026 — Experience filter

Was: About 118 director and manager postings read as asking for one year of experience, because a management-experience figure was taken as the bar.

Now: A figure about management experience is set aside where a plain experience figure exists.

3 September 2026 — /what-degree-do-you-need-for-medical-sales

Was: The "other" row of the majors table was 12% of postings and mostly not majors: "a high degree of integrity" counted as a degree, and the letters "bs" inside ordinary words counted as a bachelor's. "The United States" and "Denver" appeared as fields of study.

Now: The row is 2.8% and lists real fields. The report's method note, which described the opposite of the counting rule, was corrected the same day.

28 August 2026 — /medical-sales-salary

Was: On-target earnings figures — base plus commission at plan — were counted as base salaries in every median on the site.

Now: On-target figures are labeled on the listing and excluded from every salary aggregate.

28 August 2026 — The board

Was: Eleven roles in India, Germany and England were listed on a US-only board, because a two-letter country code was read as a US state.

Now: A location ending in a country code is refused, and the rule was measured against every live listing before it shipped.

25 August 2026 — Product line filter

Was: About half the board carried no product line, because the repair pass that fills it had matched nothing for months.

Now: The pass fills any missing label; coverage went from 51% to 78% over the following week.
