Director Readiness Advisor

If you're a senior PM eyeing a Director role, just landed one, or hitting a wall 18 months in, this gives you a structured coaching conversation instead of generic leadership platitudes. It asks 3-4 diagnostic questions about where you are in the transition (preparing, interviewing, newly promoted, or recalibrating), then delivers 3-5 numbered recommendations tailored to your situation. Built on the Altitude & Horizon Framework with named failure modes like Hero Syndrome and the Waiter vs. Restaurant Operator distinction. Takes 10-15 minutes. The honest take: it's opinionated about what actually trips people up when scope changes, which means it's useful if you recognize yourself in those patterns and less so if your situation is unusual.
