How it works

Three steps. That's it.

1

Set your target

Current role, target role (e.g. 'VP of Engineering'), timeline in years, and industry. The more specific, the sharper the plan. 3-year plans and 5-year plans both work.

2

See your gap analysis

AI compares your current experience against the target role. Missing skills show in red. Missing experience types in amber. Seniority signals in violet. This is the gap you're closing.

3

Follow the roadmap

Year-by-year plan with a theme, quarterly focus areas (Q1–Q4), and milestone checklists. Check off milestones as you complete them. Progress ring tracks how far along you are.

What you get

Everything you need, nothing you don't

AI-generated year-by-year roadmap
Each year has a theme, a focus sentence, Q1–Q4 quarterly objectives, and concrete milestones — generated specifically for your current role, target role, and timeline.
Gap analysis (skills + experience + seniority)
Three types of gaps: skills you need to learn, experience types you need to acquire, and seniority signals that show you're ready for the next level.
Quarterly milestone tracking
Each year breaks into quarterly milestones. Check them off as you hit them. Your progress ring updates as you close the gap.
Quarterly nudge emails
Every 90 days, IceSume emails you a personalized check-in: where you are in the roadmap, what this quarter's focus is, and what to tackle next.
Stepping stones section
Beyond milestones — IceSume identifies intermediate roles, certifications, and visibility moves that are typically stepping stones between your current level and the target.
Edit or start over anytime
Career plans change. Edit your target role, timeline, or current role — and regenerate the plan. Or start fresh with a new arc entirely.
