Early testers are saying

Real results. Real impact

We're testing with a small group of users transitioning from IC to manager roles. Here's what they have to say.

There are so many things about being a Staff Engineer I didn't know. It's a whole different role.

The feedback felt surprisingly accurate. It highlighted strengths I rely on and weaknesses I need to work on.

I thought I understood what management would be like. The simulation showed me several things I hadn't considered.

Who is this for?

Anyone with a change on the horizon

You have been excellent at the work. Managing it is a different job entirely. Now you're expected to lead people and projects. Practice the conversations, the calls, and the days that will define whether you make the leap well.

You're making a significant career move. The skills may be transferable; however, the context is not. Walk through a day in the new function before you walk into the interview or start day one on the job.

Everyone already knows you. That is exactly what makes this harder. Run the role before it is yours and find out how you'll navigate the larger responsibilities you're taking on.

The people getting the offers are not always the most qualified. They are the most prepared. A sprint puts you ahead of everyone who has only read about the job.

Frequently asked questions

Before you start

5 to 15 minutes depending on how thorough you are.

No. Each sprint is generated fresh. You can run it multiple times and face different scenarios.

You are scored on dimensions that matter for your destination role specifically, not generic leadership traits.

Yes. The more specific you are, the sharper the simulation. Vague inputs produce vague results.
