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.

Discovery & early exploration

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.
