Build a Portfolio Project Generator for Career Switchers

1. 1

   Blueprint the target roles from real postings

   Analyze real job descriptions per target role to extract the recurring work (the analyst cleans messy data and presents a decision; the UX designer reconciles user needs with constraints); each blueprint defines what a convincing project must demonstrate, and it is the product's substance.

2. 2

   Generate briefs like a good client, not a textbook

   Each brief has a realistic scenario, messy provided assets (imperfect data, conflicting stakeholder notes), scope boundaries, and a deadline suggestion; the mess is the point, because handling it is what distinguishes real work from tutorials.

3. 3

   Attach rubrics and the write-up template

   A rubric per brief (what excellent, adequate, and missing look like) plus a case-study write-up template turns finished work into interview material; teaching the telling is half the portfolio's value.

4. 4

   Add optional human review as the premium tier

   Vetted field professionals reviewing a finished project against the rubric for a fixed fee creates the quality signal AI cannot and a second revenue stream that improves the free product's credibility.

5. 5

   Price accessibly

   A monthly subscription in the ten-to-twenty range or a per-track one-time price respects switcher budgets; partnerships with bootcamps and career coaches (who need exactly this for their students) are the volume channel.

6. 6

   Market in the switching trenches

   Career-change communities, bootcamp alumni groups, and 'roast my portfolio' threads are where the pain is spoken aloud; before-and-after portfolio comparisons, with permission, are the content that converts.
