Why we read it this way (7)
The role is classified as 'Fixed Term', indicating a contract/fixed-term engagement rather than permanent full-time employment.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends reporting/BI analysis (15-2031) with statistical modeling and data science (15-2051). The title and statistical analysis emphasis tip it toward 15-2051, but the heavy reporting and visualization focus could support 15-2031.
Epic Cogito is listed as a required license/credential (CABOODLE-EPIC Cogito Data Warehouse) in the Required Licenses section, making it a hard gate despite Epic Certification/proficiency being noted as 'preferred' in the Knowledge/Skills section — the license requirement overrides the softer phrasing.
Tableau, Excel, and Microsoft SSRS are listed together as examples of acceptable data visualization tools under Knowledge/Skills; they are treated as interchangeable alternatives for a single preferred skill rather than separate hard gates.
Experience requirement is stated as '1-3 years', so the overall years minimum is set to 1 (the minimum of the range). This is a relatively junior experience band despite the broad scope of responsibilities.
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in a specified list of fields — this is a hard gate with no 'or equivalent experience' language.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
