What we don't know

Being clear about the limits of our data is part of being trustworthy. Here is what RoleMath does not know and does not claim.

What we do not know and do not claim

  • We have no verified placement data for any credential or program, so we do not publish placement claims.
  • We have no verified salary-outcome data tied to any credential or program, so we never present a salary figure as something a credential or program will earn you.
  • We have no verified return-on-investment evidence for any credential or program, so we do not make ROI claims and we do not tell you a credential will pay for itself.
  • We have no verified exam pass-rate data, so we do not publish pass-rate claims for any exam.
  • We make no job guarantee and no income guarantee; no credential, course, or page here promises a job.
  • Job-market figures on the site are occupation-level BLS and O*NET context, not a personal guarantee and not a promise about your individual hiring odds or your future wage.
  • Where we publish local labor pages, that geography data reflects worker supply and occupation-level wage context; it is not live job demand and we do not present it as real-time hiring demand.

Where to find verified outcomes

For verified outcomes, we do not ask you to take our word: check independent reporting such as CIRR (the Council on Integrity in Results Reporting) and Course Report, which collect program outcome data we do not independently verify ourselves.
