Roadmap
Five levels, one path. This roadmap maps the skills that take a technical analyst from writing clear requirements to specifying and testing AI systems, across business, technical, systems, payments, and AI work.
Find where you are now, then follow the articles, and the one guide, that move you to the level above. It is a free skill map first, a reading list you can work through at your own pace.
Wondering where the skills lead? See the five career paths they open: product, engineering, architecture, quality, and data, mapped step by step.
