Career Narrative Risk Monitor
A privacy-first web app that helps employees and managers prevent “commitment signaling” misunderstandings by turning goals, availability, and growth intent into a clear, shareable career narrative and expectation agreement. It provides structured talking points, meeting templates, and a lightweight log of commitments/outcomes to reduce ambiguity in promotion cycles. It’s positioned as a communication and documentation tool—not financial advice and not HR case management.

Career Narrative Risk Monitor
A privacy-first web app that helps employees and managers prevent “commitment signaling” misunderstandings by turning goals, availability, and growth intent into a clear, shareable career narrative and expectation agreement. It provides structured talking points, meeting templates, and a lightweight log of commitments/outcomes to reduce ambiguity in promotion cycles.

Target customer
Mid-level employees in ops/engineering/finance functions at 200–5000 employee companies (and optionally their managers/HRBPs) who participate in promotion and performance review cycles
Problem-solution fit
Users need a way to express non-traditional motivations (e.g., valuing autonomy, saving aggressively) without being labeled disloyal or “not invested.” The product helps by standardizing how employees communicate career intent, documenting delivery against commitments, and giving managers a consistent rubric to evaluate scope readiness independent of lifestyle goals.
