Some estimates have low confidence, so these results are directional. Validate critical skills with a formal assessment before major investment.
This assessment is for planning purposes and does not replace formal competency assessment. Proficiency levels are estimates, not verified competency.
How is my score calculated?
Readiness compares the estimated current proficiency of each skill with the proficiency the role requires. Skill gap = required − current (never below 0). Skill readiness = current ÷ required × 100, capped at 100% (a skill with a requirement of 0 is 100% ready). Overall readiness is the average of skill readiness weighted by business importance (Low 1, Medium 2, High 3, Critical 4). Priority score = (gap ÷ 5) × (importance weight ÷ 4) × 100, used to rank which gaps to develop first.

How the skills gap assessment works
Business objective → role → required skills → current skills → gap analysis → priority → development recommendations. Every result comes from the answers you give.

Readiness compares the estimated current proficiency of each skill with the proficiency the role requires. Skill gap = required − current (never below 0). Skill readiness = current ÷ required × 100, capped at 100% (a skill with a requirement of 0 is 100% ready).

Proficiency scale
- 0 · No Experience: Has not used or been exposed to this skill.
- 1 · Awareness: Understands the basic concepts but cannot apply them unaided.
- 2 · Working Knowledge: Can apply the skill to routine tasks with some guidance.
- 3 · Proficient: Applies the skill independently and reliably in everyday work.
- 4 · Advanced: Handles complex situations and helps others improve.
- 5 · Expert: Recognized authority who sets standards and shapes practice.
Importance weights: Low = 1 · Medium = 2 · High = 3 · Critical = 4.
Readiness classifications
- 80–100 · Ready: Current capability broadly meets what this role needs. Focus on validating and maintaining it.
- 60–79 · Partially Ready: Core capability is in place, but some gaps will slow progress on your objective.
- 40–59 · Significant Gaps: Several important skills fall short of what the role needs. A structured development plan is warranted.
- 0–39 · Major Readiness Risk: Large gaps on important skills put this objective at risk without focused development.
These ranges are planning guides, not scientifically validated thresholds.
Development priorities
- Priority 1 — Act Now: Largest gaps on the skills that matter most to the business.
- Priority 2 — Develop Next: Real gaps that can follow once Priority 1 is under way.
- Priority 3 — Maintain: Skills that already meet the requirement. Keep them current and evidenced.
Recommendations by gap size
- Small gap: Microlearning or a short refresher, Practice on real work tasks.
- Moderate gap: Structured learning path, Practical assignment applied to the role, Assessment to check progress.
- Critical gap: Development pathway over several weeks, Mentor or instructor support, Practical application on the job, Formal assessment and verified evidence of proficiency.
This assessment is for planning purposes and does not replace formal competency assessment. Completing a course does not by itself prove proficiency.
Skills gap assessment: frequently asked questions
What is a skills gap assessment?
A skills gap assessment compares the skills a role or team needs with the capability it has today. Rating how important each skill is shows which gaps matter most, so development can be prioritized by business need rather than by course catalog.

Is this a formal competency assessment?
No. The tool is for planning. Proficiency levels are estimates, so the results are directional and critical skills should be validated with formal assessment, manager review or evidence.
Do I need to assess each employee individually?
No. Rate the average capability of the role or team. You never enter employee names or individual records.
Do I need to sign up?
No. The assessment and your results are free with no signup. If you want the full report, your results are passed securely to Sublime AI, never in the page URL.
