Career Visibility Healthcheck
Founding partners · ten places

Ten organisations get to decide what this becomes.

Career Visibility Software is in controlled release. It isn't finished, it isn't generally available, and we'd rather say so plainly than take your money for something you can't yet use.

What we're looking for is ten organisations who'd rather help build it than wait for it — and who'll pay £1 per user per month until it's ready.

Why this is different

Most software arrives finished. You fit around it.

You know how this normally goes. You buy a platform built for someone else's organisation, discover the three things it can't do that matter most to you, and either work around them or add them to a feature request queue where they'll sit for two years behind someone larger.

This is the other thing. We are building the career visibility platform now, and for the next twelve months the ten organisations in this cohort have more influence over what it becomes than anyone who buys it afterwards ever will.

That means:

01

Your roles are the hard cases.

Every product gets built against someone's structure. If yours has matrix reporting, dual career ladders, regulated competencies or job families that don't behave, we'd rather find that out from you now than from a customer in two years. The awkward bits of your organisation make the product better.

02

The things you argue for are the things we build.

Quarterly, properly, with the roadmap in front of us. Not a suggestion box — a conversation where you can say “this is wrong” and watch it change.

03

You see everything first.

Before general availability, before anyone else, while it's still cheap for us to change our minds.

04

You're named as a founding partner. Permanently.

Not for twelve months. On the platform you helped shape.

Ten organisations. If your sector isn't in that ten, the product will still be good — it just won't have been built with your kind of complexity in mind.

What a founding place costs

£1 per user, per month. Until it's ready.

We're aiming for general availability at the end of Q1. We've moved that date once already, which is why we won't dress it up as a promise — but you'd hear about any change from us directly, long before you'd read it anywhere.

The discount clock doesn't start until the product does. If general availability moves again, you don't lose a month of your half-price year. That risk is ours, not yours.

No minimum term. Ever. Not during early access, not during your half-price year, not afterwards. If it stops being worth what you're paying, leave with thirty days' notice. We'd rather earn the renewal than enforce one.

The exchange

Three things, and we'd rather be direct about them.

01

A case study, within 90 days of going live.

Written together, approved by you, and honest — including anything that didn't go to plan.

02

One reference call in your first year.

With a prospective client in a similar position to yours. One call, not an open-ended commitment.

03

Quarterly feedback, thirty minutes at a time.

This is the part we value most, and it's the reason the price is what it is. It's also the part you get the most from — it's where the shaping actually happens.

If any of that doesn't suit your organisation — and for some sectors it genuinely won't — our standard pricing is published openly and we'll work with you just as happily.

Be honest with yourself

Is this the right fit for you?

This is a good fit if…

You employ 250 people or more, across enough different roles that career paths aren't obvious

You have opinions about how career development should work, and somewhere to put them

You can give us a few hours a month — your roles, your structure, your honest opinion

You're comfortable being named publicly as an early client

You can work with a product that's still being finished, and tell us when it isn't good enough

It's probably not, if…

You need single sign-on to grant access. SSO arrives after general availability. We'd rather tell you now than at contract stage

You need every feature working from day one

Your organisation can't be named in marketing

You want to buy something finished and not think about it again

No surprises

What early access actually looks like

From the start

Career pathways — roles, skills, competencies and the routes between them

Individual gap analysis — what someone needs for the role they want next

Career conversations — structured 1:1s with agendas and agreed actions

Cath, our AI career guide, grounded in your own content

Starter libraries and role templates, loaded with you during setup

Not at first

Organisational capability reporting against your goals

Single sign-on and automatic user provisioning

Automated billing — we'll invoice you manually, which at £1 a user is hardly onerous

Some reporting and analytics

You'll have this in writing before you commit, in a known-limitations statement we update as things land. No surprises is the entire point.

What happens next

What happens next?

1

You join the register. Free, and commits you to nothing.

2

We talk. Thirty minutes to understand your organisation and whether this is genuinely a fit. We select the ten rather than taking the first ten — we want a spread of sectors, and organisations we can do good work for.

3

We agree terms and you sign. Including the known-limitations statement, so what you're getting is written down.

4

We build your career architecture with you. Setup and onboarding included.

5

You go live, at £1 per user per month, and the quarterly conversations start.

6

General availability arrives, your half-price year begins, and we write the case study together.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why is it so cheap?

Because you're taking a risk on an unfinished product, and because what you tell us while we're still building is worth more to us than your subscription. It won't be this cheap again.

What does “shaping the roadmap” actually mean?

A quarterly conversation with the roadmap open, where you tell us what's wrong and what's missing. We can't promise every request gets built — sometimes two founding partners will want opposite things. What we can promise is that you'll know why, and that the ten of you carry more weight than anyone else.

What happens after the half-price year?

Twenty per cent off our standard pricing, for as long as you stay with us. Founding partners don't go back to full price.

Is the 20% really permanent?

For as long as you're continuously with us, yes. It's tied to being one of the ten, not to a date. The one thing that ends it is leaving — if you cancel and come back later, you'd come back on standard pricing.

What will that actually cost us?

Depends on your headcount. At 250 people it's £250 a month while we're building, then half of standard pricing for a year, then 20% off permanently. Every figure is on our pricing page — ask and we'll walk you through yours before you commit to anything.

What if general availability slips again?

You stay at £1 per user until it lands, and we'll have told you long before the date arrives. We're in regular contact with the founding ten — that's rather the point.

Can we leave if it isn't working?

Yes, at any point, with thirty days' notice. There's no minimum term at any stage — the same as our standard software terms. We'd rather you stayed because it's working than because you'd signed something.

What if the ten places fill?

We change the page rather than take an eleventh. If you're too late we'll say so, and you're welcome to standard pricing whenever you're ready.

Do we have to do the case study?

Yes — it's part of the exchange, and it's why the price is what it is. But it's written after you're live, together, and you approve it. If you're not happy with the work, we have a bigger problem than a case study.
