Codesmith's Unofficial/Reverse Engineered H2 2022 CIRR Report - NOTABLE OPINIONS: concerning increase in number of ghosters on salaries (that still counted as job obtainers !!), 180 day placement rate of 63% (a little higher than expected)

No definitely not. They have good intentions and they try. I've read every word of the standard document five times and it's just not robust. I could spend a day rewriting it to fix numerous ambiguities and gaps. They just updated it too and didn't fix any of this stuff. Like if you read the G.R.A.D standard document from Galvanize it reads like a properly written legal specification. The CIRR spec reads like a marketing brief. No numbers sections, no clear definition of terms, ambiguities in the worksheets that don't match the spec. Many people with good intentions don't do a good job executing and this is one of these cases.
