A route, not a wish list

- Detection Engineer~£70k estimateBuilds, tests and tunes detection logic
The move depends on authored rules, tuning decisions and telemetry ownership. A foundation certificate alone does not demonstrate that work.
Salary points use the Atlas’s TechWaymark practitioner estimates, not survey data or promised pay. This is the default Most realistic route; your experience, location and constraints may change it.
