Adaptation roadmap

From where you are to something that holds.

An exposure rating tells you a role is changing. It does not tell you what to do on Monday. The roadmap is the part that does: a dated, ordered plan toward a target the catalogue says is more durable than where you stand now.

  1. up to 36 months, or as long as it takes
  2. 1 step at a time, in order
  3. daily study sessions, with a streak

What a plan holds

A plan with dates, not a list of skills.

Every careers tool can hand you a list of things to learn. The hard part is sequence and time: what has to come first, what can run alongside, what is worth doing at all given where the role is heading, and when to stop preparing and start applying.

  1. 01target selection

    A target you can read

    A real career record with its rating, pay band and entry routes, picked by you or suggested.

  2. 02gap analysis

    The gap, named

    Your profile against the target's requirements: what is missing and roughly how long each piece takes.

  3. 03sequencing

    Ordered, not alphabetised

    Prerequisites first, long lead items early, one step at a time, so there is always one clear next thing.

  4. 04course pricing

    Priced in Kenyan terms

    Courses and certificates drawn from the catalogue with their real fee, duration and intake months.

  5. 05dynamic updates

    It moves with the ratings

    When a rating on your path changes materially, the plan flags it and proposes the change.

  6. 06daily sessions

    Half an hour a day

    Today turns your step into one sitting with a timer, and what you log becomes a streak and a pace.

  7. 07checked practice

    Marked, then asked again

    Checked against the reference or marked by you, then brought back on a spaced schedule so it sticks.

  8. 08project review3 a month on Pro, 20 on Professional

    Work read against the brief

    Hand in a GitHub link or the work, and each criterion is marked met or not, with what to fix.

  9. 09pace

    Behind, and what to do

    Logged hours say whether a step lands on time. If not, study more, give it longer, or trim it.

  10. 10readiness

    How close you are

    Each required skill met by a passed project, a finished step or your résumé, and who hires for it.

  11. 11what AI does

    The route, told for you

    The route and its costs are the catalogue's. AI rewords each step for you, with the original a click away.

  12. 12openings

    Roles on the way

    Roles linked to your target, each with why it is listed. Track one and it joins your applications.

How a plan is built

Built once, amended often.

A roadmap you never revisit is a document, not a plan. This one expects to be edited as your circumstances change, and as the catalogue shifts around them.

Who gets it

Who gets it.

Each tier adds tools on top of the one below, and credits, which is how much model work you can spend in a week.

The catalogue is open and needs no account. The app is free to join, and a tier only changes how much it does.

What it will not do

What it does not do.

A roadmap is a scheduling instrument. It is worth being clear about where its authority stops.

6 stated boundaries
  1. 01 · calendar availabilityout of scope

    It does not know your calendar.

    Hours per week is the one input it cannot check, so optimism there shows in the plan.

  2. 02 · admission decisionsout of scope

    It does not guarantee the target.

    Institutions publish requirements; admission, funding and hiring are others' calls.

  3. 03 · unrecorded feesout of scope

    It cannot price everything.

    Where the catalogue has no fee for a step, the plan says so rather than estimating.

  4. 04 · rating revisionsout of scope

    Its target's rating is derived.

    If the rating moves the plan moves too, so the destination is a judgement, not a fact.

  5. 05 · your hoursout of scope

    It counts the study you log.

    Pace, streaks and reminders read your sessions, so unlogged time is time it cannot see.

  6. 06 · private workout of scope

    A review reads what it is given.

    Public GitHub repositories, gists and pasted text; a private repository is not opened.
