Possible Futures
A job search, kept by hand

An Index of
Possible Futures.

A working catalog of the roles you are actually considering — each one scored against your own compass, tailored on its own terms, and kept close at hand. Built for fewer, more considered applications.

The hosted edition is in private preview — an access key is needed for now.

Why it exists

The whole posture of this tool — score, annotate, decide — assumes the person on the other end is reading the thing you sent. Increasingly, they are not.

A 2026 Stanford study of three million applicants found that the same screening model, run across many employers, quietly correlates your applications: roughly one in twenty-five people who applied to ten roles were recommended for rejection from all of them, at a rate higher than chance. Your applications look independent. An invisible upstream filter says otherwise.

Possible Futures cannot fix that. What it does is make your side legible and the machinery visible: every role gets its own scoring run, fit summary, and tailored materials; your disagreements with the AI become a record of your own judgement that stays yours; and the screening vendor behind each posting is shown plainly, so a cluster of the same vendor in your funnel reads as a signal to find a human, not to write another cover letter.

What it does
  • Scores against your compass

    Paste a posting; it is evaluated on the dimensions you care about, with the reasoning shown, not hidden.

  • Tailors materials per role

    A resume version chosen for the role and a cover-letter draft written to the specific posting — never one spray-and-pray submission.

  • Tracks the whole funnel

    Applications, status, people, and companies as first-class things — because reaching a human is the most reliable way past a screener.

  • Calibrates to you

    Disagree with a score and say why. Over time you build a working model of your own fit that lives outside any vendor’s database.
