A mentor that teaches you, then makes you prove it.
Not a chatbot that answers questions. A coach that works through a bounded arc with you, session after session, against the gap it actually found.
The six steps, every session
The difference between being taught something and being able to do it is what happens after the explanation. Four of these six steps happen after it.
Name the gap precisely, and agree what better actually looks like. Most learning fails here, before anything is taught.
The idea itself — short, applied to your role, not a forty-minute video.
A worked example. You see it done before you are asked to do it.
Your turn, in a real situation with consequences that follow from your choice.
What you actually did, judged against what good looks like — not a score out of ten.
One thing you will do at work this week. Keep what it produces — it can become the evidence for a higher level.
It starts with what you have already done
Most people have built more than their CV says. Montrus takes in all of it, and loses none of it.
Your CV
Upload it once. Every role, course and certificate is read out, and you choose what to keep. The file itself is not kept.
Your LinkedIn profile
Paste it, or upload LinkedIn’s own PDF of it. The same review, the same choice.
A conversation
No CV, or one that undersells you? Tell your Mentor what you have done — paid or unpaid — and it names the capabilities in it.
A claim is a lead, never a level. What your history suggests is shown as claimed until Montrus measures it. You decide what to measure, and it stays on your passport until you remove it.
Then it finds out where you actually are
About thirteen minutes: five capabilities, each measured twice, in scenarios and applied questions — not a personality quiz.
Then the gap becomes a plan you can keep
Scheduled across your week, sized to a real working life, with one next step at a time — not a catalogue to browse in your own time.
And the record is yours to keep
Every role you have held stays on it, with what each one built. A capability you have not used for a while is marked as gone quiet — never lowered.
It says how, not just what
Every level carries the evidence behind it — what kind, and how much. A reader can tell a well-evidenced Proficient from a thin one.
It follows you
It is attached to you, not to an employer. Change jobs and it comes with you, intact.
You choose who sees it
Share a link when you want to. An employer sees what you granted, and you can withdraw it later.
