| File | Rows | What it holds |
|---|---|---|
sources.csv / .json |
200 | Every source the book used, graded, dated, with what it cannot tell you |
gaps.csv / .json |
138 | Every question the book could not answer at the grade it requires |
sources.csv carries, for each source: the grade it earns under the book's
five-grade hierarchy, the date it was published, the date it was read, a
locator or a stated reason there is none, the figure it supports, and its
caveat. 75 of the 200 are grade 1.
gaps.csv carries, for each gap: the role and chapter it belongs to, what
is missing, why, and whether it is closeable — meaning a published source
exists and nobody has compiled it. 22 are closeable. Of the 138,
88 come from the career profiles and 50 are declared
by the chapters themselves.
Grades run 1 to 5, best first.
| Grade | What it means |
|---|---|
| 1 | A primary source. Somebody with the power to compel the answer |
| 2 | A structured survey that publishes its method |
| 3 | A verified transaction. Money that actually changed hands |
| 4 | An aggregator. A website republishing what people typed in |
| 5 | Somebody selling you something |
Because a list of what nobody measures is more useful to a researcher than another list of what somebody measured. Every entry marked closeable means a published source exists and has not been compiled. Those are the cheap ones.
Copy it, republish it, adapt it, build on it, sell something built on it. The only condition is credit:
Source bibliography and gap register, Computing Careers 2026, Grade One, edition 1.0.0.
Corrections are wanted. If a grade is wrong, a source has moved, or a gap has been closed by something published since, write to corrections@gradeone.press. Corrections that arrive with a source and a date go into the next edition, with credit, unless you would rather not be named.
This directory is generated, not written. Every count above is recomputed by
scripts/package.py --public in the book's build from the files beside it, so a
number here cannot drift from the data it describes. Do not edit it by hand;
re-run the build.
