Skill map

Know what you bring. See what you can build.

Eight skill families, grouped so you can tell existing strengths from transferable capabilities and from the gaps still worth closing.

Related career families appear as you select. This matches your choices against the skills listed on each career page — nothing more.

Technical skills

Working directly with code, systems, queries and the tools that run them.

Analytical skills

Framing a question, testing it against evidence, and knowing what the answer cannot cover.

Communication

Writing and speaking so that a decision can be made by someone who was not in the room.

Problem-solving

Breaking a vague difficulty into parts small enough to actually attack.

Collaboration

Getting work done with people who have different incentives from yours.

Leadership

Setting direction and carrying responsibility — often without formal authority.

Digital fluency

Moving comfortably through modern tooling, including AI tools, without being led by them.

Domain knowledge

Knowing a field well enough to tell a plausible answer from a correct one.

Tick the skills you can already evidence. Related career families appear here as you go.

This matches your selections against the skills listed on each career page. It is an exploration tool, not a validated aptitude test, and it does not assess you.

Existing strengths

Things you have done repeatedly, with evidence you could point to. These anchor your story.

Transferable capabilities

Skills built elsewhere that apply in a new context, once you can explain the connection.

Development areas

Gaps between where you are and a direction you are considering. Useful, not disqualifying.
