How PlanPhD Works

One conversation, one plan, three moves a week.

The Gap

PhD training makes you good at hard things: going deep, questioning every claim, finishing projects that take years.

A career move asks for a different motion — go broad, state your value plainly, make the first approach.

Nobody taught you that motion. It's not a character flaw, it's a missing method.

PlanPhD supplies the method: three concrete moves a week, sized to fit around your research.

Three Steps

1

You talk, it learns

A 10-minute conversation captures your field, fears, constraints, and blockers. Talking is the whole interface.

2

You get 3 tasks per week

Three things, each under 2 hours, sized for a researcher's real week.

3

Every task explains why

The reasoning comes with the task: why this move, for your situation, right now.
