What it is
A free assessment that maps you to one of 27 roles that recur in every technology hype cycle — builder, educator, infrastructure landlord, capital provider, and so on — instead of a job title. It is the interactive version of my book series, The Hype Cycle Playbook.
How I built it
Full-stack, end-to-end: a Next.js (App Router) app in three languages (EN/DE/FR), a 77-question assessment plus a 2-minute express flow, a per-dimension scoring engine, and a paid AI-generated report delivered both as a PDF and as an agent-ready Markdown file. Payments run through Stripe; conversion is instrumented with PostHog, Meta Pixel/CAPI and Sentry.
Highlights
- Localized SEO from the ground up (145-page sitemap,
llms.txtfor AI search) - Automated, personalized report generation per result
- Free express result → paid deep-dive funnel
