Dado

Overview

Dado is a domain-specific decision engine designed to evaluate strategic career pivots within the built environment. It replaces keyword matching with structured role modeling, weighted scoring logic, and trajectory-aware fit evaluation.

Problem
Statement

Built environment professionals navigating transitions into tech face unclear role translation, inconsistent seniority mapping, and ambiguous long-term trajectory outcomes. Most job platforms evaluate surface-level skill overlap, not structural career alignment.

High-stakes career decisions are made with incomplete information.

Process

Dado was developed through structured domain analysis of AEC role nuance, progression patterns, and pivot pathways into tech.

The product architecture was built in layers:

  • Role normalization across firm types and sectors

  • Structural baseline scoring

  • Preference-weighted adjustments

  • Contextual boost layer

  • Guardrails for non-negotiables

  • Dual alignment outputs (“Role Fit for You” and “Your Fit for Role”)

The scoring framework is iteratively refined to improve precision, consistency, and explainability.

Solution

A domain-specific decision engine designed to evaluate strategic career pivots within the built environment and adjacent tech sectors.

The system generates dual alignment metrics by evaluating:

  • Structural responsibility alignment

  • Leadership and technical depth translation

  • Compensation trajectory implications

  • Long-term progression impact

Rather than relying on keyword overlap, the engine applies layered scoring logic to produce explainable, trajectory-aware outputs.

Results &
Impact

Currently in active refinement, with ongoing iteration of its scoring architecture and trajectory modeling logic.

Early testing has validated the importance of:

  • Domain-specific role normalization

  • Weighted preference modeling

  • Transparent, explainable outputs

The product continues to evolve toward a structured infrastructure for evaluating high-stakes career decisions within the built environment.
