Three tools. One unlock. A complete career placement funnel.
Direct answer: Real World Careers is a career placement product with three user-facing tools — ZIP job search, a shareable competence credential, and an employer portal — unlocked by a timed Career Fit assessment (50 questions, max score 110). It is not an IQ test.
Assessment is the engine. Jobs, credential, and portal are the product buyers use every week.

Problems we fix (each pillar)
Jobs: “Code dead ends / RWIQ residue”Fix: clean Career Fit gate, demo code RWC-DEMO-2026, no upgrade-from-IQ path.
Jobs: “Generic board, no why”Fix: fit rank + plain-English why-match + apply pack with credential link.
Credential: “Score page ≠ proof”Fix: printable competence letter + employer one-screen verify.
Credential: “Privacy risk”Fix: candidate-controlled codes and expiring share links (7/30/90 days).
Portal: “Free seats invisible”Fix: seat wallet shows paid + free math for Pilot→Enterprise.
Portal: “Pilot dies in admin”Fix: bulk invite CSV/email, pipeline board, compliance export.
How the funnel works

- Employer: Buy Pilot/Package → seat wallet → bulk invite → candidates complete Career Fit → pipeline + verify → post openings to job board.
- Federal: Same org ladder as employers · Federal Fit instrument · same portal patterns.
