Premium

Track readiness over quarters and see which levers moved the score most.

What's the strongest signal I'm ready?

Your manager can name — without prompting — three specific things you own that used to belong to your level+1.

How long should I wait between promotions?

Most companies expect 12–24 months at level. Under 12 months is possible but requires a documented business impact.

What if my manager says 'not yet'?

Ask for the exact criteria in writing, then meet them all in 90 days. Track it publicly with your manager.
