Yeah, the data isn’t going to be highly accurate in a quantitative sense - like you said, even with mandatory reporting which CS doesn’t have. But I think it’s enough to tell a decently accurate story. It’s not ground breaking technique, just solid advice and if you’re consistent

\+1, yeah definitely agree it's good advice to push grads to follow the advice
I don't have the full context on this presentation, but I do think Codesmith can do more though than use data to convince people to do the same old same old because what worked in <= 2021, doesn't work the same now, and alumni that talk to me don't think Codesmith is doing anything to address that. They've added 2-3 career support engineers, but a number of people feel like Codesmith is telling them everything is fine it's just taking longer to find jobs.
But with all of this new data they share to convince people of this, they haven't given any placement rates to compare and people aren't happy so I'm giving that feedback :D
