Fractional Working Index (FWI)
47 (43 to 50) / 100 (Stable), down 6 points over 30 days, as of 2026-10-29.
The FWI is a private composite score (0-100) for the fractional executive market (fractional CFO, CMO, CTO, COO, CRO, and interim CEO), using ten inputs across demand, supply and culture, every one of which moves, with five official and market series held out to test it. FWI = (Demand × 0.5) + (Supply × 0.2) + (Culture × 0.3) + -9.5 (link fixed at the 2026-10-26 seam), rounded to a whole number. It has not been validated against an official measure. How it is made · Changelog.
SEC Form D filing velocity is included as startup-financing context. Pulse has not validated a predictive relationship between those filings and future fractional hiring.
