Salary movement
One reading so far: each role below has a single dated reading of its pay band, so no movement can be reported until a second dated reading exists. The figures are the entry band each salary page prints, dated by its oldest source.

|---|---|---|---|
| AI engineer | PKR 50,000 to 100,000 | 30 Sep 2026 | one reading so far |

How this brief is made
Counts come from BvLogic Academy's learner data for the calendar month: free-course enrolments and completions, career test results, and the city learners typed when they joined (never guessed from an internet address). Any group smaller than 5 learners is left out so no figure can point to a person. Job-board figures are counts of open listings for a fixed search, read once a month; a month the board refused is reported as not measured, never as zero. A salary movement is reported only when a role has two dated readings of its pay band; with one, the brief says so. The brief is computed once, on the 2nd of the following month, and is not changed afterwards.
