FORENSIC CAREER INTELLIGENCE

Career drift is
structural.
Not personal.

BorealPath maps the structural forces that push senior professionals off their intended trajectory — sponsor deficits, mandate erosion, leverage leakage — and makes them visible before they compound.

THE SIGNAL

Most career problems are misdiagnosed as personal when they're structural.

You're not disengaged because you lack motivation. You're disengaged because the structural conditions that created your role have shifted beneath you — and no one mapped the change.

77%

of senior professionals report misalignment between their mandate and daily reality.

THE FIVE VECTORS

What we measure.

Every career operates across five structural vectors. When one erodes, the others follow — often invisibly.

Authority34

Do your decision rights match your title?

|||||
Leverage28

Are you operating at the right altitude?

|||||
Horizon52

Is your planning window strategic or reactive?

|||||
Integrity61

Do resources match expected outcomes?

|||||
Environment74

Does the political structure support your mandate?

THE DIFFERENCE

This is not a career quiz.

×Career coaching that treats symptoms, not structure
×Personality assessments that classify but don't diagnose
×Networking advice when the problem is mandate erosion
×Skill-building when the issue is political infrastructure
×"Find your passion" when the data says find your sponsor

WHO THIS IS FOR

Senior professionals who suspect the ground has shifted beneath them.

Directors & VPs

Your mandate has contracted but your title hasn't. You're operating below altitude and absorbing work that isn't yours.

Mandate erosion

SVPs & C-suite

Your sponsor left or got reorganized. Your political infrastructure is weaker than your title suggests.

Sponsor deficit

Founders & GMs

You built the thing but the organization has outgrown your original charter. You're maintaining when you should be building.

Gold-plated cage

The terrain is the terrain.

The measurement doesn't change shape to make you comfortable. Begin your structural alignment diagnostic and see the ground as it actually is.
