Ask teams where their skills fall short before planning training, score the gaps by role, and get an AI report that ranks your curriculum.
Quick answer
Do not schedule courses before knowing the gap — rate current versus required per skill, capture preferred formats and available time, and the AI report sorts needs by priority.
Training budgets go wrong when the catalog is decided before the gaps are. This survey has employees and managers rate current versus required skill level side by side — the difference between the two, broken down by team, is your real curriculum. The AI report ranks the gaps so budget conversations start from evidence instead of the loudest request.
