Stage 04 - Training recommendations

Training matched to the actual gap - not a course catalog.

Once a gap is confirmed, the next step is not to send someone a full library. It is to point at the one module, doc or pair session that most likely closes that specific gap - and re-check once they are through it.

What it does

Everything this stage takes off your plate.

Gap-to-content matching

Match the exact gap - not a broad theme - to a specific piece of content, session or pairing.

Content library or bring-your-own

Works with a curated library or the training content your team already uses - both are first-class.

Sequenced, not stacked

One thing to focus on, one at a time - a ramp is a curve, not a homework pile.

Completion signals feed back in

When the module completes, the signal returns to the gap record - the curve either lifts or the gap re-flags.

Reassessment on real work

The gap is re-checked against subsequent real work - not a follow-up quiz that everyone passes.

Manager visibility, not surveillance

The manager sees the recommendation and the outcome - not every click. Trust is built into the loop.

One worked example, end-to-end

One confirmed gap, closed in one focused pass.

A concrete run through this stage - not a diagram of arrows.

  1. Step 01

    Confirmed gap in

    A specific gap - not a vibe - arrives from the identification stage with its confidence score attached.

  2. Step 02

    Module matched

    The system picks the smallest piece of content most likely to close it, from the library or an in-house source.

  3. Step 03

    Assigned - slope changes

    The recommendation is assigned; on the ramp-up curve, the slope after this point visibly changes.

  4. Step 04

    Reassessed on real work

    The next week's work is re-scored against the same gap definition - closed, or refined for another pass.

Signals in

What feeds this stage

  • Confirmed gap records with confidence scores
  • Content library metadata (topic, level, format)
  • Completion and quiz signals where available
  • Real work signals after assignment (cycle time, review, etc.)
Outcomes

What this stage puts on the curve

  • One primary recommendation per gap
  • A visible slope change on the ramp-up curve
  • A re-check event scheduled on real subsequent work
  • A closed-loop record on the hire profile
