The data

There is no questionnaire here, so the question is where the four answers come from

You type a job title and this tool gives you four readings of that one role. What our record says is changing about it. The level it sits at. What it really pays. And where the record says it leads. There is nothing to score, because you have not been asked anything about yourself.

For a lookup, the thing worth showing you is provenance. Which datasets sit underneath each answer, which part is ours, and what we refuse to put on the screen.

What sits behind the four answers

  1. The role match The catalogue search, with a confidence verdict

    The title you type is resolved through the same search the browse front door uses. We read its confidence verdict rather than trusting the first result.

    Built by Zavmo. A confident verdict shows the answers. An ambiguous one asks you to pick between the real candidates. An unplaceable one says so, which is an answer rather than an error.

  2. The role record Our graph

    A structured job description holding domain skills, functional skills, soft skills, responsibilities, decision-making authority and emerging skills. Three of the four answers are read from it.

    Built by Zavmo. The reading you see is assembled from these fields and nothing else.

  3. The level The role record, on the GOV.UK framework

    The level shown against your job is the level our record already carries for it, read as written. It is placed on the regulated national framework, not a scale of our own.

    The framework is external and public. The level is our record read verbatim, never inferred from the words you typed. The plain-English line beside it is ours, worded as a tendency rather than an official definition.

  4. The pay figure ONS ASHE, occupation table

    The median gross annual pay for full-time employees in the occupation your title codes to. Read exactly from the ONS table and shown to the pound, with its source, licence and vintage beside it.

    External and public. Three things have to hold before a figure appears. The title resolves to exactly one four-digit SOC 2020 occupation under the ONS coding rules. The estimate passes the ONS reliability measure. And our copy of the data is inside its freshness window. Otherwise it is withheld.

  5. The next steps The progression statement in our graph

    Each job description names where the role leads, in its own words. It gives how long a step typically takes and the skills it starts asking for. That prose is the source for every rung.

    Built by Zavmo, read verbatim. We do not infer a step the record does not name. A rung becomes a clickable role page only where we publish a role of exactly that title.

  6. The skills spine National Occupational Standards

    The published UK statements of what competent performance in an occupation looks like.

    External and public. Skills on this site are these standards, not our own invented taxonomy.

  7. The qualification spine The Ofqual register

    Every qualification we name is a real, regulated one, read from the register.

    External and public. Zavmo is not an awarding body and does not claim to be one.

  8. The occupation spine ONS SOC 2020

    The official UK standard occupational classification the catalogue is organised against, which is how a typed title finds a role at all.

    External and public.

  9. The emerging-skill reasoning Zavmo analysis

    The short explanation of why a skill is emerging for this role, written per role from the record above.

    This part is ours, generated from the role record. It is analysis, not a survey finding, and we would rather label it than let it pass as one.

The number you will not see

There is no AI-risk percentage on this page. Not because we could not compute one, but because the data does not carry a probability, so any figure we printed would be invented and wearing the clothes of a measurement.

If you want the task-level reading of your own week, that is the AI-Proof Score, which is a different tool with a different method and its own citations. This one reads a role record and tells you what it says.

Why the pay figure is exact or nothing

There are four states behind that section and only one of them is a number. It shows a figure when a title resolves to a single occupation with a reliable, current median. It shows a withheld state when our data is past its freshness window. It shows an ambiguous state when the title maps to more than one occupation. And it shows a no-figure state when we can place the role but cannot pin it to one occupation.

That refusal is the point, not a shortfall. A salary is the kind of number a reader acts on. A wrong one does real harm, and it is not recoverable once it has shaped a decision. A missing one costs you a click and nothing else. The other three answers render in every state.

And a median is a midpoint, not your salary. It is the point where half the people in that occupation earn more and half earn less. A four-digit occupation group is also broader than a single job title. Read alongside its source and date, it is a solid anchor for what the work pays. An anchor, not a forecast.

Where the level comes from, and what it is not

The level is read off the role record. It is not judged from the words you type, and that distinction is the whole design. A tool that read a description of your week and returned a level would be inventing a measurement of you, dressed up as a lookup. This one finds the role in the catalogue and reads the level the record already holds. The answer is about the role, never about how well you happen to do it.

The framework itself is the regulated national one, the same ladder that qualifications are built on. Saying a role sits at a level is a statement about the kind of work it involves, read from the record. It is not a bar you must clear to do the job. It is not a grade for the person doing it.

How much of the catalogue can name a next step

These are our own measurements of our own catalogue, and we would rather publish them than leave you guessing. Measured against a 2,000-role tranche: 1,974 of those roles, 98.7 per cent, carry at least one named next step. Of the 2,061 distinct rung names those records produce, 1,188 resolve to a role page we publish, which is 57.6 per cent. And 1,524 of the 1,974 roles with a named step get at least one rung you can click through to, which is 77.2 per cent.

So: almost every role can tell you where it leads, and a little over half of the destinations are places you can go and read about on this site. The rest are named in text rather than linked to something approximate.

What happens when we hold nothing

The catalogue is UK-first and it is not complete. If you type a title we do not hold, we say so and suggest another. We do not dress the nearest thing up as a match.

The same rule applies inside a result, answer by answer. Where a placed role carries no framework level, we say so rather than estimating one. Where the pay gate fails, we withhold the figure. Where the record names no next step, we call it a gap in our data rather than a ceiling on your career.

What this is not
  • This is Zavmo’s own read of a role record. It is not a forecast, not a probability, and not a measurement of you.
  • The level is read from the role record, not inferred about you, and it is not an official equivalence. The framework is a qualification-level framework. Placing a role on it is our reading of the record, not a rule that the job requires that level.
  • The pay figure is the ONS median for an occupation, the midpoint of what people in it earn. It is not a prediction of your pay. One four-digit occupation group holds many related job titles. Where the title is ambiguous, the estimate is unreliable, or our data is stale, the number is withheld rather than shown weak.
  • A named next step is what the role record says, not a vacancy and not a promise. The typical timings describe a common path rather than yours.
  • The catalogue is UK-first and incomplete. A title we do not hold returns an empty state rather than a guess.
  • The emerging-skill reasoning is generated by Zavmo from the role record. It is our analysis and it is labelled as such wherever it appears.
