How we work
Corrections
The policy
What counts. A correction is for something we published that was wrong: a figure, a date, a name, a description of what someone did or said, or a method that produced a misleading number. A clarification is for something that was accurate and left out a fact a reader needed. Fixing a typo, repairing a link, refreshing daily data, or re-checking the events calendar is an edit, and is not logged here.
What we do. We fix the page as soon as we have confirmed the error. The correction is logged below with the date, what was wrong, and what is right. Where the error affected a conclusion, the entry says so. Where it appeared in an issue of the Hiring Index, the next issue carries it too, because the people who read the mistake should read the fix.
What we do not do. We do not quietly rewrite a published number, and we do not delete an issue or an entry in this log. If a correction turns out to be wrong, it gets its own entry. We do not change historical data to make a series look smoother: when a method changes, the old rows stay as they were and are marked, and the methodology page records the change.
Who can ask. Anyone. If you work at a company we cover and we have a fact about it wrong, tell us and we will check it against a source and fix it. What we will not do is change an accurate figure because its subject dislikes it. How we decide what to publish is in our editorial standards.
Report an error
Email hello@aiinnycshow.com with “Correction” in the subject. Tell us the page, what is wrong, and, if you have it, a source for the right answer. A link to a primary document gets the fastest fix.

Hiring Index and jobs index: postings recorded as closed and reopened
On November 7, 2026 six of the companies we track had the web address of every posting on their Ashby job boards change. We identified a posting by its address, so 451 postings were recorded as closed and reopened that day. From November 7 to November 14 the “days open” shown on the jobs pages for those roles was reset, and several long-running executive searches appeared as newly opened. We found the error on November 14, before any figure built on it was published: issue #7 of the Hiring Index was drafted after the repair. The 451 false closures were removed and each role’s first-seen date was restored. Postings on those boards are now identified by posting ID, and the November 7 data row is marked as corrected.

Hiring Index and jobs index: Alloy’s postings followed as one role
Alloy’s job postings share one web address, so since tracking began we had followed them as a single role. The count of its open roles was right, but its postings were absent from time-to-fill and showed no days open. They are now followed individually, from the dates Alloy published them, and are left out of time-to-fill cohorts before November 14, 2026.

NYC AI Hiring Index: tools named in job postings
From August 17 to September 19, 2026 we counted a tool once for every posting whose full text named it. Several companies name a vendor, as a customer or an investor, in the introduction they repeat across all their job posts, so those vendors were counted once per open role. On the day we fixed it, OpenAI fell from 138 postings to 37 and Anthropic from 117 to 64. We now remove each company’s repeated text before reading a posting. The figure we publish and rank by, the number of companies naming a tool, moved by one company for four tools (OpenAI, Anthropic, Go, and Cohere) and not at all for the rest. No published finding depended on the posting counts. Data rows from before September 20 are marked as using the old method.
