What it does

Renders a radar chart across twelve skill axes relevant to design work in the current AI moment. The shape is the output · a quick read of where someone is strong and where they're thin.

Why I built it

Job descriptions in 2025 are a mixed bag of AI-adjacent requirements that weren't on design rubrics two years ago. I wanted a tool that made the gap between 'where I am' and 'where this role wants me' visible at a glance.
