5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a verger already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Vergers perform administrative duties for churches and parishes, ensure equipment maintenance and support the parish priest or other superiors. They also perform assisting duties before and after church service such as tidying, readying the equipment and supporting the priest.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a verger already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
