(01)What it is
Round one turned a messy paragraph about yourself into a profile and a swipeable deck of careers, each with a roadmap and a skill-gap chart. The final round went further: Career Intelligence OS, a single-page mission control for choosing what to do with your life.

(03)What's inside
- 01
Regret, simulated
Pick a career and see projected emotional and logical regret risk at one, three and five years — the question most career tools never ask.
- 02
A navigator you can talk to
NOVA takes typed questions or voice (“Guide me”), alongside a blind-spot detector, interest–skill conflicts and an elimination engine.
- 03
Accessible from the first screen
High contrast, reduced motion and a dyslexia-friendly font are switches on the start screen, not settings buried three menus deep.
(04)The honest bit
- The “AI” in round one is a local mock — careers come from a built-in list and the analysis is simulated for the demo.
- The final round is a single self-contained HTML file.
No fake users, no invented numbers. If it's a demo, it says so.
