    "unit": "A confirmed Vault fact: a skill, an experience line (accomplishment, project, recognition) or a structural item (role, education, credential) with status confirmed or user-edited.",
    "origins": {
      "uploadedDocument": "Extracted from a document the user uploaded (resume, LinkedIn export, performance review or other file), then confirmed by the user.",
      "whileReadingAPosting": "Confirmed by the user while JobShifu compared their profile with one specific job posting: a requirement the resume did not show that the user said they had (step-1 gap or keyword), or a line the user confirmed while reviewing the tailored resume for that job.",
      "typedIntoProfile": "Typed directly into the profile, not tied to a posting.",
      "otherInProduct": "Added from another in-product suggestion (for example a skill the user reported learning)."
    },
    "floor": "Origin is stamped when a fact is created. If a later upload restates a posting-added fact word for word, the merged fact takes the document's origin, so the posting share is a lower bound.",
