PathGen: Turn Job Descriptions into 90-Day Execution Plans

a year ago

Why PathGen?

If you’re transitioning into a data analyst role—or simply trying to level up—you’ve probably hit these roadblocks:

  • JD’s stuffed with skills, yet no clue which ones you’re missing or how to prioritize them;
  • Endless online courses with zero structure, no realistic timeline;
  • You need a portfolio or resume boost, but lack a clear week-by-week roadmap;
  • Sharing or revisiting a plan is painful without a clean export.

PathGen solves these pain points by acting as a “JD-driven career route builder.” We analyze the target job description, highlight the gaps, and generate a personalized 90-day plan you can execute and export.

How the PathGen Flow Works

  1. Discovery — Landing pages (/ and /data-analyst-roadmap) set the context and direct visitors to the tools.
  2. JD Matcher — At /tools/jd-matcher, paste your job description, choose a role, and our AI will produce:
    • A confidence/match score
    • Must-have vs. missing skills
    • Keyword clusters and a concise summary
      Then click Send to my plan to pass the analysis forward.
  3. 90-Day Plan Builder — /plans/data-analyst-90-day-plan pre-fills the form. Adjust hours per week, baseline skill scores, and learning preferences. Hit Generate preview to receive a structured plan (usually 30–60 seconds).
  4. PDF Export — Press Export PDF (Pro). Sign in with Google/GitHub if needed, complete the one-time PathGen Pro payment, and receive a downloadable PDF stored in Cloudflare R2.

Key Features
