Confidence Interval (Benchmark)

A confidence interval on a benchmark is the range within which the true value is expected to fall — e.g. a 95% CI of $1.18–$1.46 around a $1.32 market rate.

Reporting a confidence interval (and the sample size n) communicates how much to trust a number: a wide interval signals thin data, a narrow one signals a well-supported estimate.

WorkForce shows the CI and n on every WLI rate and AQO score, so a single point estimate is never presented without its uncertainty.
