The plan targets PSLF-eligible, mission-driven employers (government,
tribal, nonprofit, FQHC/community health, academic, public hospital).
For-profit DSOs (Smile Doctors, Sonrava, Specialty Dental Brands) had
slipped in through site: queries and auto-discovered boards, and their
pages produced off-scope leads — including Pediatric Dentist titles
that were never orthodontist jobs.
- employer_scope: rule-based employer classifier (.gov/.mil/.edu/
.nsn.us hosts, configured public domains, government/tribal/
nonprofit/academic/FQHC terms); private/unknown employers are
FILTERED at verification (default-deny) and logged to
workspace/candidates/*.employers.jsonl. Board catalogs declare
employer_type; auto-discovered boards are written only when the
SERP evidence classifies as mission-driven.
- roles: new other_specialty class (pediatric dentist, endodontist,
oral surgeon, general dentist …) filtered before target matching;
hidden dentist-title lanes at public employers stay.
- verifier: normalize ATS page titles ("Job Application for X at Y"
-> "X") before storing; apply employer gate.
- discovery: scope filter + out-of-scope reporting; private auto
catalog cleared (University of Utah Health kept as academic).
- closed markers: drop bare "filled" — federal boilerplate ("until
the position is filled") marked open USAJOBS postings as CLOSED.
- urls: strip default :443/:80 ports so USAJOBS links dedupe.
