Fair point. I think there is an underlying idea that one should apply for CoG if awarded a StG, career progression wise.

For the CoG, I think 15 makes more sense, also given that many of us with StGs will be close to the 12y limit when eligible to apply.

I can see that. 7 years is a bit on the short side considering the (unfortunately) growing number of non-tenured post-PhD positions, which means that many will only start in an tenure-track position several years after they graduate, and so the window is not that big. But perhaps 10 is a bit much.

Good question. I think I always found the 12y limit for cog a bit too short.

I think of it as a latent status variable of sorts, not so far from a latent variable in a measurement model. This excellent paper by Lundberg on extended family effects adopts similar reasoning pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32638226/

PS: Several (other) contributions by Scott Long -- see, e.g., jslsoc.sitehost.iu.edu/index.htm --, Richard Breen, @kbkarlson.bsky.social , Anders Holm, and Ben Jann are also worth a look when it comes to setting up and interpreting nonlinear regression models such as logit and probit.

and how we can know it 🤯

I am torn about blind review because the arguments both ways seem equally compelling and there are plenty of cases on each side. A first-year student doing this study *does* seem implausible. Like if I said I used a synchrotron in my research: if you know who I am, I would be caught in the lie

You only use ‘leverage’ if you use something relatively small to achieve something relatively great. For example, we leveraged the ISCO jobs ontology to automatically classify 1.5 billion jobs. Archimedes said so.

Finally a sure fire answer to the question what is your ontology
