The Edge Personal
What is my human advantage? Your capability map for the age of AI.
"You read what clients do not say. The question is whether anyone knows that is your job."
What It Does
The Edge maps your uniquely human capabilities: the skills that remain valuable as AI automates technical work. Through probing conversation, it identifies what you do that a machine cannot replicate, where your strengths compound, and where you have growth gaps. The output is a capability profile, not a skills assessment.
The Edge requires a Personal tier subscription (£19.99/year).
How the Conversation Works
The Edge has the sharpest conversational quality of all five tools. It asks probing questions and drills into specific examples. It does not accept vague answers. When you say "I'm good with clients", it asks what specifically you do in a client meeting that someone else would not. When you describe a strength, it pushes for a concrete example.
This is deliberate. The quality of the capability map depends entirely on the specificity of what you share. Generic descriptions produce generic profiles. Specific examples produce insight.
If you uploaded documents in The Mirror, your extracted profile carries forward. The Edge will reference specific skills and projects from your CV when probing, asking you to expand on concrete examples rather than starting from scratch.
Tip: Think of a moment in the last month where you added value that a junior colleague or an AI tool could not have. Describe that moment. That is what The Edge is looking for.
The Results Experience
When analysis completes, the chat disappears and a full-screen cinematic experience takes over.
Primary Edge Statement
Your defining human advantage, displayed in large italic text with a green accent line. Below it, an AI-generated edge insight: a single confronting sentence that names a tension in your professional value. This line names something you already sense but have not articulated.
Capability Map
A radar chart plotting your scores across five capability dimensions:
| Dimension | What It Measures |
|---|---|
| Direction | Your ability to set course in ambiguous situations |
| Purpose | Your ability to create meaning and alignment |
| Judgement | Your ability to make decisions with incomplete information |
| Meaning | Your ability to interpret context and read situations |
| Wisdom | Your ability to apply experience to novel problems |
The chart animates as you scroll, drawing your capability shape. A callout line identifies your strongest dimension.
Strength Cards
Three cards describing what makes you valuable. Each has a headline-quality title drawn from your specific examples, not generic capability labels. These titles are designed to be quotable: the kind of thing you might put in a LinkedIn headline or use to describe your value proposition.
Growth Areas
Two cards identifying where to compound your edge. These are not weaknesses. They are capabilities that, if developed, would multiply the value of your existing strengths. Visually distinguished from strength cards with an amber accent.
Summary
A closing statement that ties your strengths, growth areas, and positioning together into a single narrative assessment.
Share Card
A downloadable 1200×630px image showing your primary edge statement and a simplified capability radar shape. Designed for LinkedIn sharing.
In-App Help
The tool name in the navigation bar has an info icon that opens a brief "About this tool" panel. Section labels in the results experience have info icons with one-sentence explanations.
How It Connects
- The Mirror tells you where you stand. The Edge tells you why
- The Shift shows what is changing. The Edge shows what endures
- The Path uses your capability profile to prioritise actions that compound your strongest dimensions
- The Thread weaves your edge into your career narrative
Best Practices
- Complete The Mirror and The Shift first. Context about your score and sector improves the conversation
- Answer with specific examples, not self-assessments. "I noticed the client's hesitation and restructured the proposal on the spot" is better than "I have strong emotional intelligence"
- Do not downplay your strengths. The Edge is calibrated to challenge, not to flatter. If it identifies something as a strength, it found evidence for it
- Pay close attention to the growth areas. These are where small investment produces outsized returns
- Re-run every 90 days to see how your edge has evolved
Common Questions
- Why does it keep asking for examples? Because specifics are the only way to distinguish genuine capability from self-perception. The probing is the product
- What if I disagree with a strength? Read it again in a week. The Edge often names things people have not consciously recognised about how they work
- How is this different from a skills assessment? Skills assessments measure what you can do. The Edge measures what you do that cannot be replicated by a machine. The distinction matters as AI gets better at skills
"Your judgement is strong. Your reputation still describes someone who drafts."
