How readiness works
Four skill signals combine into your provisional Readiness — Beta score. Every input is something you did — never something you bought.
Your best track-relevant benchmark results form the largest signal, with recent evidence weighted more strongly.
A complete professional profile and published portfolio contribute directly — the basic portfolio is never locked behind a plan.
Benchmark history and weekly snapshots show whether your skills are actually moving forward over time.
Completed learning and track challenges in product design or brand identity round out the score.
Readiness is in beta and intentionally provisional. It reflects demonstrated skill-building — spend, subscriptions, and coins never touch the formula.
How it works
Assess, focus, practice, and improve — with the evidence collected in one place.
Pick product design or brand identity, then complete a benchmark to establish your first skill signal.
Use the dashboard's signal breakdown and weekly module to work on the area that needs the most attention.
Improve your portfolio, complete learning, and watch your readiness history change week over week.
