CCAR Story Extractor
Pulls interview-ready stories from a CV using CCAR (Context, Challenge, Action, Result) — chosen over STAR as a friendlier structure for neurodivergent storytelling.
Product Lab
Four stages, one pipeline: an idea earns its way to alpha, an alpha earns its way to beta, a beta earns its way into production. Nothing skips a stage, and nothing here is dressed up to look further along than it is.
Most of what sits here belongs to Project Pinetree, my agentic AI work: a self-directed operating framework that combines structured documentation, workflow design and AI-assisted analysis. The Pinetree CV Targeter is its first public release. More agentic workflows are in progress, and each one enters the pipeline as an idea first.
Ideas
The running list of what could come next — for Project Pinetree and the wider practice. Nothing here is committed, and the order isn't fixed yet. Got one of your own, or a vote for one of these? Tell us on the Contact page.
Metrics Cheat Sheet
Collects every quantified claim in a CV onto one clean page for interview prep.
Gap-to-Plan
Turns each unevidenced gap the CV Targeter finds into a realistic plan for closing it.
Cover Letter Targeter
Same guardrails as the CV targeter — never invents a fact — shaped as a cover letter instead.
JD Red-Flag Scanner
Screens a job description alone for scope creep and ways-of-working risk, before you apply.
Local Run History
A local-only log of past runs, so nothing has to be re-pasted to compare applications.
Formatted PDF Export
Properly designed CV formatting on export.
Batch Mode
Run several applications at once.
Request Access Waitlist
A no-backend way to register interest in a tool before it's built.
Changelog

Vote on Ideas
Let visitors vote on which of these matters most to build next.

Kate's own ordering view, informed by votes. One list can't hold everyone's disagreement at once.

Give feedbackBeta
Nothing's graduated to beta yet. An alpha moves here once real testers have used it and the rough edges are known.
Prod
Nothing's in production yet — that's the point of the pipeline: nothing skips a stage.
