Drop off rates (reflected in percentage of people who graduated during and beyond the program length) are actually accounted for in CIRR outcomes. I think CIRR could potentially consider even broadening their standards to also allow schools who have different proposed measure

I agree that it's critical CIRR forces both graduation and placement rates to be there.
The counter argument though is that they clearly say that a bootcamp can advertise ONLY the placement within 6 months as the "Placement Rate" in marketing, which isn't quite so accurate.
It's fair to consider both of these because people leave for all kinds of valid reasons, so maybe this lies somewhere in the middle?
