Career Tools Roadmap

Each tool demonstrates the thesis it’s designed to sell. The process of building them IS the portfolio.

The Structural Advantage

No existing career tool connects to a personal knowledge base. Every commercial tool starts from a blank form. This pipeline reads the vault — 145+ cross-linked pages of real projects, research, and frameworks. The content already exists. These tools select, shape, and deliver it.

See strategy.md for why this is a Gödel loop: the tools that find the job prove you can do the job.
