Defined construct
Every score or estimate begins with a specific question and a definition of what is—and is not—being measured.
CAREER TOOLS METHODOLOGY
Transparent enough to question.
MyTopMatch uses versioned proprietary methods to organize career evidence and decisions. We disclose what a tool measures, how it handles uncertainty, and what its result cannot claim.No MyTopMatch Career Tool is presented here as a validated predictor of hiring, promotion, compensation, job performance, unemployment, satisfaction, or career success.
THE SHARED STANDARD
One method contract across every tool.
The tools measure different questions, but they follow the same rules for provenance, versioning, missing information, confidence, privacy, and interpretation.Deterministic calculation
Published weights, bands, missing-data rules, and conditions are locked to a methodology version.
Evidence provenance
User statements, confirmed facts, document observations, external data, models, inferences, and unknowns remain distinguishable.
Visible uncertainty
Confidence describes evidence sufficiency, not the probability that a career outcome will occur.
Immutable history
A new methodology creates a new result. Historical results remain interpretable under the version that produced them.
Human decision
Recommendations support reflection and action. They do not automate employment decisions or guarantee outcomes.
EVIDENCE PROVENANCE
A result should show what it knows—and how it knows it.
Generated explanations may summarize or interpret evidence, but they cannot silently turn a statement or inference into a verified fact.Information entered by the user and not independently confirmed.
Information the user explicitly confirms after extraction or review.
A feature directly detected in a submitted document.
A value from a named, dated occupational or market dataset.
A result produced by a versioned deterministic transformation.
A reversible interpretation that the user has not confirmed.
Information that is missing or cannot be supported.
SCORING AND MISSING DATA
Missing information is not a low score.
COMMON WEIGHTED FORMD = Σ(wᵢ × xᵢ) / Σ(wᵢ)Scores use only applicable answered items. Optional omissions leave the denominator; required omissions may prevent a conclusive result.
Classification bands are interpretation rules. They are not population percentiles or proof that one person ranks above another.
An unanswered optional item is not automatically scored as zero, midpoint, average, or “no concern.”
Licensing, work authorization, geography, compensation floors, and other binding constraints can remain visible instead of disappearing inside an average.
A changed weight, item, band, transformation, taxonomy, or recommendation trigger receives a new methodology or scoring version.
CONFIDENCE MEANS EVIDENCE SUFFICIENCY
Not a probability. Not a promise.
Confidence reflects completion, source coverage, mapping quality, source freshness, and consistency. Tool-specific specifications may adjust those components when justified.High evidence
Required coverage is complete and the key mappings or sources are strong.
Moderate evidence
The result is useful, with specific evidence gaps disclosed.
Limited evidence
The result is directional and sensitive to missing or weakly mapped information.
Insufficient evidence
The tool should not present a conclusive score or estimate.
THE TEN METHOD PROFILES
Different questions require different outputs.
Not every tool should produce one overall score. Ranges, two-axis maps, constraint profiles, and preference comparisons can be more defensible.DISCOVER YOUR POSITION

A reversible interpretation stored separately from confirmed professional facts.
A field-level proposal that requires the user’s explicit confirmation before it changes the Professional Passport.
FUTURE VALIDATION PROGRAM
Claims advance only when evidence advances.

Construct maps, item traceability, expert review, accessibility review, and cognitive interviews.
- 02
Deterministic replay, edge cases, corruption recovery, missing-data tests, and calculation audits.
- 03
Item behavior, stability, and inter-rater agreement where the method supports those analyses.
- 04
Convergent, discriminant, sensitivity, and calibration studies with documented samples and limits.
- 05
Prospective outcome research only with consent, predefined outcomes, and no hidden employer use.
- 06
