What the evidence says

Pool composition

Submitted represents 50.0 percent of the three-status total and is the principal component across the selected statuses. NovenAI keeps it separate from the combined measure that includes Closed records.

Score concentration

More than half of the three-status total is concentrated in the three largest score bands. The 45-point band contains 50.0 percent of the three-status total; the three largest bands at 70, 45 points contain 100.0 percent.

State signals

The current snapshot does not contain enough subclass 190/491 state data for comparison.

Submitted EOI movement

A complete earlier comparison is unavailable, so NovenAI does not publish a change conclusion for this snapshot.

The three largest bands are 70, 45 points, containing 20 EOIs or 100.0 percent. This measures distribution concentration, not an invitation cutoff.

Is the Submitted EOI pool increasing or decreasing?

A complete earlier comparison is unavailable, so NovenAI does not publish a change conclusion for this snapshot.

Which states lead the subclass 190 and 491 Submitted EOI data?

This snapshot does not contain enough subclass 190 or 491 Submitted state data for a reliable comparison.

How does NovenAI standardise and interpret SkillSelect EOI data?

NovenAI standardises the official data by occupation, visa subclass, status, score band, state and snapshot month. This report covers 7 available snapshots and 2 subclass 189 score bands with data. When the official source suppresses a cell below 20, NovenAI uses 10 as the analytical estimate, so the results are not exact application-by-application counts.
