How it works
Evidence, then options, then commitment, then action, then learning.
PIVT is a loop, not a questionnaire. Here is every step of it, including the ones that can tell you nothing yet.
End to end
The loop
CV
Optional, but powerful
Roles and skills are extracted from your CV and then confirmed by you — nothing is taken as true because a model read it. Skip it and you lose the pre-filled occupation match, not the product.
Occupation
The market-data gate
Your work is matched to a real occupation code, which is what every market figure is keyed on. Candidates are offered and confirmed. It is never silently assumed.
Weekly learning
What calculations cannot see
Capacity, confidence, blockers and learning come from check-ins. Progress can be derived from tasks; none of these can.
Discovery
Different constraints matter to different people, so the questions differ
Seven inputs, kept deliberately separate. Keeping them apart is what lets PIVT explain a recommendation instead of asserting one.
Life stage
Why now
Four Burners
Identity
Financial reality
Pivot capital
Future direction
Moves
Six dimensions, answered separately
A single score hides the trade-off. These do not.
| Dimension | Answers | Drawn from |
|---|---|---|
| Desirability | Strong · Workable · Constrained · Unknown | Identity, direction, priorities, reflection |
| Viability | Strong · Workable · Constrained · Unknown | Skill, resource and relationship capital; geography; finances |
| Sustainability | Strong · Workable · Constrained · Unknown | Four Burners, capacity, family, income floor, obligations |
| Future resilience | Strong · Workable · Constrained · Unknown | Occupational and wage data, and future signals |
| Optionality | Expands · Preserves · Contracts · Unknown | Skills, network, runway and credentials gained or lost |
| Reversibility | A type, not a grade | What it would take to undo this move |
Moves are not ranked into a winner. Each one lands in a fit state — from strong fit through worth testing to not now and eliminated. "Not now" is a real answer PIVT is willing to give.
Copilot
Three jobs, and hard limits on the third
01
Think with me
Asks the next question that would actually improve the decision — not a script, and not the same question it asked someone else with the same job title.
02
Navigate for me
Shows which part of the ecosystem is useful next. Jobs, courses, coaches and people exist elsewhere; knowing which one matters now is the hard part.
03
Do it with me
Once authorised: research, drafting, preparation, comparison, planning and follow-up.

Where this is today: the conversation is live. Missions — where a gap in a Move becomes a piece of assigned work, part PIVT's and part yours — are the next thing we are building. We would rather say that than imply it already exists.
The constitution
The rules that govern every recommendation
These are not marketing copy. They are the constraints the system is built against, and the reason it will sometimes tell you less than you wanted.
01
Human agency
PIVT informs; the individual decides.
02
Whole-person context
Career choices are evaluated against life, capacity, money and constraints.
03
Visible trade-offs
Every Move shows what it gives, what it costs and what it requires.
04
Reversibility matters
Test reversible moves before making irreversible ones.
05
Unknown is valid
Missing evidence is shown, not guessed.
06
Action creates evidence
The system learns from what you actually do and what happens next.
07
Value before vulnerability
Every request for deeper personal context has to unlock visible value first.
08
Navigate what you do not control
PIVT does not promise external outcomes. It helps you choose useful actions and learn from the results.
09
Action must produce evidence
Every meaningful action either advances the Move or improves the next decision.
PIVT does not optimise for the most exciting option. It helps identify the most viable next move for this person, now.
