TCD · The Career Diagnostic
ABOUTTHE PROJECT

REAL RESEARCH. REAL PEOPLE.

The Career Diagnostic was built because nothing else in the "will AI take my job?" space used real, current research. The biggest site runs on a 2013 paper from before ChatGPT existed. The newer ones are share-optimized quizzes. None of them cite the Anthropic Economic Index — the freshest dataset on the topic, refreshed every quarter and free for anyone willing to do the work.

What the diagnostic is for.

The free Career Diagnostic gives you a 0–100 score for any white-collar job — a number that summarizes how much AI is changing the work in that role, based on three real public research sources: Anthropic's Economic Index (refreshed quarterly), the 2023 Stanford / OpenAI study (Eloundou et al.), and the U.S. Department of Labor's O*NET dataset (28th release). Every weight is published. Every source is named.

The score is information, not a verdict. It tells you which parts of your job are most exposed to AI and which parts are durable. The decision about what to do with that information is yours — preferably made with someone who knows you (a mentor, a friend in your field) or with the Pivot Interview if you want a structured conversation.

The editorial standards.

  • Real public research, named. Every signal in the score points to a specific dataset, with the version and date. If you want to check the math, the methodology page lays out every weight.
  • Quarterly refresh. Anthropic publishes new Economic Index data every 90 days. Every published score updates with it. When your role's score moves materially, we email you.
  • No affiliate deals. When the report names a training program, course, or credential, that recommendation is based on whether the program actually helps — not whether it pays a referral fee. Zero affiliate relationships.
  • The free version stays free. The paid Pivot Interview funds the project. The free score has no paywall, no signup wall, no dark pattern. It will always be free.

What this isn't.

  • Career-coaching software. The score is one input. No model can predict your specific job in your specific city at your specific employer. Treat it as a starting point for thinking, not the final answer.
  • A guarantee. AI capability is moving fast. The score reflects the current research; the research will change. We update when it does.
  • A view that AI is bad. The score measures how much AI affects a job, not whether that's good or bad. Some affected roles will pay better as AI raises the value of what only humans can do. Some "safe" roles will lose pricing power. The number is just a number.
