+ # Global Layoffs & Workforce Interpreter
16
+
17
+ **Author:** Hussein Adeiza (mabera)
18
+ **Role:** Licensed Environmental Health Officer, Abuja Nigeria
19
+ **Base Model:** Mixtral 8x7B
20
+ **Fine-tuned with:** AutoScientist by Adaption Labs
21
+
22
+ ## Model Description
23
+ A LoRA adapter fine-tuned to interpret real global tech layoffs data,
24
+ producing structured analytical reasoning grounded entirely in
25
+ directly-downloaded statistics from a real tracked dataset (layoffs.fyi).
26
+ This submission completes all 7 categories of the AutoScientist
27
+ Challenge 2026 Part 2.
28
+
29
+ ## A Note on Subject Matter
30
+ This dataset addresses real workforce reductions affecting real
31
+ people's livelihoods. All interpretation stays measured and analytical,
32
+ including honest disclosure of data limitations (missing figures,
33
+ likely reporting bias) rather than overstating confidence in the
34
+ underlying figures.
35
+
36
+ ## Training Data
37
+ - Source: layoffs.fyi tracked data, accessed via a properly-cited
38
+ GitHub repository, downloaded directly, 2,361 real company entries
39
+ (2020-2023)
40
+ - Dataset: 5 original prompt-completion pairs, every number computed
41
+ via pandas directly from the raw source file, expanded via Adaptive
42
+ Data (no recipe modifications, full 20K+ datapoint expansion)
43
+ - Kaggle: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/yunusahusseinadeiza/global-layoffs-and-workforce-interpreter
44
+
45
+ ## Training Metrics
46
+ - **Win rate (on dataset): 70% adapted vs 30% base model**
47
+ - Base model: mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1
48
+ - Method: LoRA, no recipe modifications
49
+ - Dataset quality: 8.0 → 8.6 (+7.5% relative improvement, Grade B)
50
+ - Percentile: 31.5
51
+ - Domain classification: Data-analysis-visualization (60%) / Market-
52
+ analysis (20%) / Corporate-business (20%), not a clean HR match;
53
+ disclosed here as this submission was intended for the HR category
54
+
55
+ ## Key Cited Findings (from the raw downloaded source only)
56
+ - Global tracked layoffs followed a non-monotonic trend: 81,068 in
57
+ 2020 (COVID shock), falling to 15,823 in 2021 (recovery), then
58
+ rising to 161,711 in 2022 and 127,277 in the first quarter of 2023
59
+ alone
60
+ - Funding raised shows almost no correlation with layoff scale
61
+ (r = 0.077 across 1,491 companies with complete data), challenging
62
+ the intuitive assumption that better-funded companies cut more
63
+ - Post-IPO (mature, publicly-traded) companies account for 53.1% of
64
+ total tracked layoffs, likely reflecting company scale rather than
65
+ instability
66
+ - Roughly a third of entries (31.3% missing headcount, 33.2% missing
67
+ percentage) lack key figures, meaning aggregate totals are
68
+ conservative lower bounds, not precise counts
69
+ - The dataset's heavy US concentration (66% of the geographic total)
70
+ most likely reflects reporting bias in the underlying tracker toward
71
+ English-language tech media, not a true global distribution
