The Compass Approach

Each spoke is a work domain. Distance from the center describes the scope of responsibility recorded for that domain, not years of experience or a test score.

1. Awareness: Recognizes the concepts with explicit supporting evidence. A topic mention alone is unassessed.
2. Assisted: Performs tasks with guidance or supervision.
3. Independent: Performs the work independently.
4. Leads delivery: Leads a team or owns delivery of that work.
5. Defines strategy: Sets organization-wide direction, standards or strategy.

The dashed outline, diamond markers and shaded area show the responsibility expected in each work area. They do not describe a candidate’s tested ability.

Unknown or unassessed domains have no plotted point. Incomplete series have no filled polygon. Confirm text-derived suggestions through discussion or assessment; a higher level does not automatically mean a better match.

The solid outline, round markers and shaded area show the responsibility described in the candidate’s experience. They do not establish tested ability or suitability for a role.

Candidate experience uses a solid outline and round markers. Role requirements use a dashed outline and diamond markers. The shaded areas show each recorded responsibility profile. A dotted segment marks a relative strength where the candidate describes broader responsibility than the role requires; a solid segment marks a role expectation that needs follow-up. These comparisons do not establish competence or suitability for the role.
