The full level-by-level ladder — every rung side by side, current level (S3) highlighted.
Pay by level
Same pricing source as the profile's ticker header — family multiplier + inherited focus differential over the function×level base.
National-base pricing — this family's function differential is pending review, so dollar levels are not function-adjusted (level-over-level % is unaffected).
Pay rises with level — the structure that explains the most pay variance.
