additional property: Missing Context
  type: PropertyValue
  value: No breakdown of which roles are being cut (e.g., QA, DevOps, support), no wage or contract-type data, no longitudinal comparison to pre-AI hiring patterns
additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: The story emphasizes growth, adoption, funding, speed, or market movement to make the subject feel increasingly important. Watch for loaded terms such as enhances the value of experience, cutting back elsewhere. The distribution reads as wire reprint. A pressure point: No breakdown of which roles are being cut (e.g., QA, DevOps, support), no wage or contract-type data, no longitudinal comparison to pre-AI hiring patterns.
