Skills don't move until
you can prove they did.
Completions aren't proof. Guru doesn't count how many courses someone finished, it validates whether the skill actually moved and adjusts the record.
Completions are the metric everyone tracks.They prove nothing.
Most L&D ends at activity. A module completed, a session logged, a certificate filed. The box gets marked done, and the skill profile never changes. The problem isn't investment. Nothing verifies the skill actually moved, so Know never improves and the loop never closes.
Completion ≠ capability
A certificate says the course got finished, not that the person can do the thing.
Self-ratings are optimistic
People rate themselves confidently, and usually wrong, especially early on.
No feedback loop
Nothing updates after development, so the profile goes stale and the same gaps come back.
Four signals. One rule.No averaging.
Four kinds of evidence, ranked, not averaged.
Demonstrated in Development
Observed doing, not saying.
The strongest signal. When it arrives, it sets the level and the assessment goes quiet.
- Direct from Practice: scenarios, feedback scores, coaching sessions.
- Sets the level when it arrives - overrides assessment automatically.
- The evidence Prove was built to receive.
Guru Assessment
The agent that talks never grades.
A scenario conversation about real work, graded blind against a written standard. No name, no history, only the words and the standard.
- Blind grading: the agent that talks and the agent that grades are separate.
- Every level carries the quote that earned it - contestable by design.
- Compatible with imported models: 360, Hogan, DDI.
Manager Validation
Multiplies what's already there. Doesn't vote.
Sign-off confirms what's already on record. It can't move a level, only strengthen proven evidence.
- On/off per site - configurable to your org.
- Raises confidence in confirmed evidence; flags disagreement if it conflicts.
- A rubber stamp on a weak signal does not compound trust.
Inferred from Work
Proficiency read from real work signals.
Signals from real work, no test, no form. Raises confidence only, never moves a level. In development.
- Passive signal between active assessments.
- Never moves a level on its own.
- Coming in a future release.
Assessment is scaffolding.Demonstrated work is the standard.
The test isn't the gold standard here. It holds the seat until real work proves the skill, then goes quiet.
What your people see
A conversation about their real work, a reflection in plain words, a growth path. Never a score. Never a ranking.
What your org gets
A living, auditable skill record per person: level, confidence, source, and the evidence behind it - exportable, contestable, defensible.
Prove doesn't end the loop.It raises the baseline.
Gap identified and prioritized
Guru reads the live profile and surfaces the highest-impact skill gap as a development card.
Coach + Learn + Practice close the gap
Know reflects the higher baseline. A new gap surfaces. The loop restarts, smarter and more targeted, at a higher level.
Evidence reviewed + proficiency validated
Demonstrated evidence, Assessment, and Manager Validation feed the record. The strongest signal sets the level - the rest set confidence.
Profile recalculates → next gap surfaces
Know reflects the higher baseline. A new gap surfaces. The loop restarts, smarter and more targeted, at a higher level.
Prove updates Know, and the loop restarts, smarter.
See Prove close the loop in a live demo.
We'll walk you through a full Know → Grow → Prove cycle and show exactly how the profile updates.
