    "method": "Individual job listings sampled from public postings on Malaysian job platforms (Indeed Malaysia primary, cross-referenced against Jobstreet/Jora/Glassdoor listing-volume counts). For each observation: employer, region, employment type, posted rate range and unit were recorded, then de-duplicated by employer+location+role to remove re-posted/duplicate listings appearing across multiple search queries. Minimum 20 observations required before a band is published as a number; below that, the band is marked insufficient sample and no number is printed on the live page. Employer names are recorded here for de-duplication and audit purposes only and are never published against individual rates on the live page \u2014 only aggregate bands are shown, per the collection method's own no-attribution rule.",

    "known_bias": "Posted rates skew toward employer-side openings and roles that need advertising to fill. Experienced hosts with existing audiences are typically booked through direct relationships or agencies without a public job listing and are not represented in this sample. Ranges reflect what employers are willing to post publicly, not necessarily what the most in-demand hosts actually command.",
