A vector has a size and a direction. So does a career. AlphaVector reads your project history, your pull toward certain work and the market's demand, then hands you a position, a route and a way to check you are still on it.
No sign-in needed to run the analysis. Takes about 20 minutes with your projects to hand.
What it is
A career-positioning framework and a guided app. It reads your own project history, what pulls you and what the market wants, and tells you where to go next.
Your evidence sets the size of the vector. The three signals set its direction.
The parts
What you have proven
The work you have actually done: which processes you carried out on which projects, what came of it, and what people said.
On its own: You get very good at things nobody needs.
From your project log. Every tick is tied to a project, an industry, an impact and the feedback you received, then scored for how well your history proves it.
What pulls you
The work that gives you energy, and the areas you would pursue without being asked.
On its own: You chase work you cannot yet do, or that no one is hiring for.
From how each project felt (energised, neutral, drained) and the three to five areas you choose. It tilts the result toward what you want; it never replaces the evidence.
What is wanted
Where hiring and skills are moving, how fast, and how exposed each direction is to automation or saturation.
On its own: You follow demand into work that drains you.
From dated, cited research such as hiring-posting indices, labour statistics and industry reports, each weighted by how reliable its source is.
Your alpha, in the right direction
Your alpha is the edge that is yours: work you have proven you can do, want to keep doing, and that someone needs done. Each route sits at a different distance from the work you already do, so you choose how far to stretch.
Why it works throughout your career
Your strengths grow with every project, your pull shifts, and the market moves on its own schedule. Three clocks, so your position is re-fixed whenever one of them changes.

Go deeper
Purpose is easier to locate than to discover in a flash. The old idea, ikigai, puts it where what you are good at, what you love and what the world needs overlap. The trouble is that each circle is usually filled in by guessing.
AlphaVector keeps the idea and changes the instrument. Strengths come from what you have done, passion from how that work felt, demand from dated, cited research. When the three disagree, the disagreement is the most useful thing it can tell you.
Strengths are scored from evidence, not self-description. Every skill is tied to a project, an impact and the feedback you received, and a thin log lowers confidence rather than pretending to certainty.
Passion separates intrinsic from extrinsic motivation. How work felt and what you would do unasked count as passion; praise and recognition count as evidence of strength, not of passion.
Market demand comes from dated, cited observations from named sources, scored by fixed rules, so the same inputs always give the same result.
The weights, formulas and sources are shared with schools, institutes and partners on request.
