Show the work.
Open the conversation.
A practical challenge gives you something to show. Your choices, reflection and feedback give it meaning. BRDGthegap brings those pieces together.
From a clear brief
to a fuller picture.
Every stage adds useful context. The person doing the work and the person reviewing it can see what is being asked and why.
Understand the challenge.
A company sets a focused task with supplied context, clear deliverables, an expected effort and visible review criteria. Participants can read the brief before deciding whether to take part.
brdg-it helps organise a draft. A person checks the scope, criteria and experience before publishing.
Meet brdg-itMake something. Explain your choices.
Submit the work alongside the thinking that shaped it. Describe the assumptions you made, the trade-offs you considered and what you would test next.
A plan, prototype, analysis or piece of writing can each reveal a different part of how someone approaches a problem.
Build a profile from the evidence.
Bring selected challenges and prior projects into a productivity profile. Give reviewers the original work, the context behind it and your own reflection.
You choose which work to feature and when to share more, within the permissions attached to each task.
Explore productivity profilesReview the work. Start a conversation.
A human reviewer considers the submission against the published criteria and adds attributed feedback. That evidence gives both sides something specific to discuss.
The organisation decides the next step. The work stays connected to the task and the circumstances in which it was made.
From a challenge to
a fuller conversation.
A clear brief. Original work. The thinking behind it. Human feedback.
A useful brief,
set with purpose.
A company starts with what it wants to understand and creates a proportionate task. The context, effort and review criteria are clear before someone begins.
Our example asks someone to make a fictional support service easier to use. It’s an exercise in thinking, not unpaid client work.

The work matters.
So does the thinking.
The individual shares what they made and explains the decisions behind it. Original files, reflection and an optional short explanation video give a reviewer more to work with.
Assumptions, assistance and limitations stay in view.

A body of work.
A fuller picture.
A productivity profile brings selected projects and challenge work together. It keeps the task, the individual’s contribution and any released feedback alongside the result.
The individual chooses what to feature and which organisations can see it.

Human judgement.
The reviewer considers the evidence against the published criteria, records feedback and decides what to ask next. A person makes the call.
One task gives a view of specific work. It never tells the whole story of someone’s capability.

Useful evidence starts
with a fair task.
A challenge should respect the person’s time. It needs a clear purpose, supplied information and an honest explanation of how the work will be reviewed. Permitted tools and support should be clear before anyone begins.
A small task offers a view of specific work. The profile, the explanation and the conversation help a reviewer understand more of the person behind it.

Our current demo uses fictional people, companies and challenges. We are developing the first version and exploring small, voluntary pilots to learn what helps people and reviewers.
