Does this work for my company's specific ladder?
The AI adapts to your context. You describe your role, level, and company, and it calibrates the assessment accordingly. It's particularly well-suited for FAANG-style ladders but works for any tech company.
What if I'm not ready yet?
That's the most valuable output of the assessment. Knowing exactly what's missing — and getting a concrete plan to address it — is far more useful than waiting for a "you're not ready" from your manager without explanation.
Is this a replacement for my manager's assessment?
No — it's preparation for it. Use it to understand the criteria, build your evidence portfolio, and have an informed conversation with your manager about your progression timeline.
