The Capability Avatar
Rate yourself on five AI skills — prompting, evaluating, building, guarding, and judging — and the avatar turns those self-ratings into an earned capability tier (novice → practitioner → builder → architect), a 0–100 score, and a deterministic archetype drawn from your strongest and weakest axes. The moat is what it does next: instead of a cosmetic badge, every medallion is a receipt — it names the exact self-evaluation that unlocked it and tells you the one next layer worth chasing.

How to use it
- Drag each of the five sliders to rate your skill 0–4, or load a preset — Fresh start, My profile, or Full architect.
- Watch the avatar level up live: the score, tier, and archetype update, and each medallion fills to the percentage you earned.
- Read the strongest and weakest callouts to see where you lead and where the gap is.
- Open the X-ray panel to see the receipt behind every medallion — what each earned layer actually proves — plus your single best next step.
- Copy or share your avatar card; a capability tier you earned is more fun to post than a generic level.
What this clears up (the fundamentals)
- Capability is a sum of skills, not one number — prompting, evaluating, building, guarding, and judging are different muscles. A weighted score keeps a strong axis from hiding a weak one.
- A tier should be earned, not cosmetic — the avatar never unlocks a layer for showing up. Each medallion maps to a specific self-evaluation, so the flex is auditable.
- Your weakest axis is your next step — leveling up is targeted. Naming the lowest medallion turns "get better at AI" into one concrete rep.
- Evaluating and judging are the quiet multipliers — most people over-index on prompting. The skill to tell a better output from a worse one, and to check it against a rubric, is what separates a builder from an architect.
Where it's used
A free, top-of-funnel gamification layer that makes progress visible — the fastest way to feel that "AI skill" is measurable rather than vibes. It's a miatz build-lab concept playable: play it here, then learn to build the weighted scoring, the eval-gated tiers, and the receipt-backed reveal yourself.
FAQ
How is the capability score calculated?
Each of the five skills is rated 0–4 and carries a weight (they sum to 100). Every skill contributes weight × (rating / 4) points; the sum, rounded, is your 0–100 score. It's a deterministic rubric — no model call, no randomness.
What are the tiers, and how do I level up?
Below 25 is novice, 25–49 is practitioner, 50–74 is builder, and 75+ is architect. You level up by raising your ratings honestly — and the reveal always points at your weakest axis as the fastest route to the next band.
What makes a medallion a "receipt"?
Every medallion links back to the exact self-evaluation that earned it — the skill, the score, and the plain-English thing it proves. That's the Demystify signature: a badge you can defend, not a cosmetic unlock.
Where does the archetype come from?
It's a short, deterministic label built from your strongest skill and your weakest one — e.g. a top prompter with the lowest judging axis reads as "The Taste-Blind Prompter." Change your ratings and the archetype changes with them.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Your ratings are scored entirely in your browser — nothing is transmitted, stored, or logged. Turn off your Wi-Fi and it still works.
Limits
A teaching self-assessment with five fixed skills and hand-set weights — it's an honest mirror of how you rate yourself, not a proctored exam or a certification. Real capability shows up in shipped work; the value here is making the axes explicit and naming the next rep. The archetypes are deliberately playful, not psychometric.
