How TGA's occupation reached this entity

training.gov.au identifies occupations by its own surrogate key. Reaching an ABS occupation requires a scored, human-reviewed correspondence to ANZSCO 2022 and then ABS's published correspondence to OSCA 2024. Rejected candidates are kept: they are what this entity is not.

no v3 candidate improves on the v2 primary (row 120, 312914 Other Draftsperson); v2 stands under the version-precedence rule. 312999 (row 229, C2+C3+C5) is the evidence-preferred residual but lands on OSCA 313999 with no entity — revisit when gap primaries are materialised
