Status meanings
Done: enough evidence to present this area as a solid strength.
Learning: an area of active development with growing confidence.
Target: relevant and intentional, but still earlier in the journey.
Skipped: not a current priority relative to other areas.
How the estimates are formed
Profile and manual review: 8
Evidence from project experience: 3
Competency mapping alignment: 4
Quiz-backed updates: 0
These signals help estimate progress, but they are still best treated as directional rather than perfectly complete.
