Career Engineering
Built before you need it
“The week after a layoff is the worst time to start proving what you've done.”
Standing Proof is where you keep the evidence, quietly, a few minutes at a time, for as long as you're working. So when an opportunity actually matters, you're not scrambling to remember what you did. You already wrote it down.
A résumé is what survived. It was never the whole story.
Most people rewrite their résumé from memory, under a deadline, years after the details were fresh. The scale, the metric, the actual outcome (the parts that make a claim checkable) are usually the first things to get compressed into a single forgettable verb. Not because they didn’t matter. Because nobody wrote them down at the time.
Standing Proof doesn’t start with your résumé. It starts with the evidence, captured a few minutes at a time, close to when it happened, so there’s something real to draw from whenever you need it next.
Built to be with you for years
A few quiet minutes, whenever there’s something worth remembering.
No dashboard to check daily. No streak to keep. Just a place that’s already there, ready, the next time you need it.
The method
Six stages, borrowed from how software actually gets built
Requirements, traceability, verification: applied to proving what you’ve done instead of guessing at what sounds good.
01
Read
Understand what a posting is actually asking, before you touch a résumé.
02
Map
Decompose the requirements. See what's weighted, what's a gate, what's assumed.
03
Prove
Connect your documented evidence to each requirement, or find the honest gap.
04
Write
Compile a résumé from evidence you already stated. Nothing invented.
05
Verify
Check every claim traces to something real before it ever leaves your hands.
06
Grow
Every posting teaches you something. The library compounds. It never resets.
It works on paper before it works on a screen
Every stage of this was designed to run with a printed posting, a highlighter, and index cards on a table. The software makes the habit easier to keep; it was never what made the method work.
What it’s for
Walking in already knowing what you can prove.
Not scrambling the night before. Not hoping nobody asks a second question.

A 20-30 minute read, no signup required. Everything the product does is explained here first, in plain terms.
Where it lands
The room where someone asks a second question
Every line you write here already carries the scale, the stakes, and how you know. So when an interviewer points at one and says tell me about that, you are remembering out loud, not improvising.
