Why we read it this way (6)
The posting lists a security screening mention alongside degree requirements but does not specify a formal US government clearance level or gate on holding one — treated as no clearance requirement.
The degree requirement accepts equivalent experience in lieu of any formal degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The minimum experience threshold is 2 years (Bachelor's + 2 years), which is the lowest qualifying path stated.
Power BI and AI copilots appear in narrative/responsibility context rather than a formal requirements block, so they are marked as preferred.
The role sits at the boundary between Data Scientists (15-2051) and Operations Research Analysts (15-2031) due to its dual emphasis on ML/statistical modeling and demand/supply operations forecasting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Econometric modeling.
