| Label | What it means |
|---|---|
| Missing | The role expects it and your CV does not show it yet. These get the most attention in your plan. |
| Needs work | You have some grounding, but not yet at the level the role asks for. |
| Refresher | You have had it before. It needs dusting off, not relearning from scratch. |
| Strong | You are already there. The plan does not spend your time on these. |
The full walk-through is in the help centre: Your gap report.
Most gap checkers compare your CV with a job ad and hand you a list of keywords. GapFix is built for people who want the promotion, not a new job. It turns your gaps into a 12-week plan of 15-minute lessons on the leadership and soft skills the next level expects: 1:1s, feedback, running meetings, stakeholder management and asking for the promotion. Skills you're already strong in aren't re-taught.
You can do this on paper. It takes an afternoon and an honest friend. The steps are the same ones the scan follows:
The hard parts are steps 2 and 3: knowing what the next level really expects, and being honest about where you are. That is the part the scan does for you. For the skill lists themselves, see skills by role.
84 daily focuses, about 13–15 minutes a day, with scenario decisions, AI roleplay and rewrite drills, a weekly quiz and reassessment that re-tunes the weeks you haven't started. A free 2-minute Daily Practice brings back what you're about to forget.
The plan lives in the GapFix iPhone app. If the promotion itself is the goal, read how to get promoted in tech next.
Yes. The scan and the gap report are free, and you need no account to run it. The app's 7-day Pro trial needs no card and never auto-charges.
About 230 tech and product roles, across engineering, product, design, data, program management and engineering leadership. If your role is not on the list you can type it in.
No. GapFix is built for growing into the next role where you already work. It is not interview prep.
It is read to find your skill gaps against the role you picked. That is what it is for. In the app you can replace it when your experience changes, and you can delete your CV data at any time.
About 2 minutes from start to finish: pick a role, add your CV, and the report itself arrives in about 60 seconds.
Pick the role you want next, add your CV, and read your report. It is free and needs no account. You sign in only if you choose to save the plan.
